The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer or Antifaschistischer Schutzwall in the former German Democratic Republic), an iconic symbol of the Cold War, was initially constructed starting on August 13, 1961 and dismantled in the weeks following November 9, 1989. The Berlin Wall was the most prominent part of the GDR border system. Conceived by the East German administration of Walter Ulbricht and approved by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev[1] the wall was a long separation barrier between West Berlin and East Germany (the German Democratic Republic), which closed the border between East and West Berlin for a period of 28 years.
