  • Historical Significance : The embossed date, 13. August 1961, is the historic day the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR/East Germany) sealed off the border to West Berlin and began erecting the wall.
    In East German state propaganda, the construction of the wall was officially hailed as the Antifaschistischer Schutzwall ("Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart"), framed as a defensive measure to protect the socialist state from Western subversion and military aggression.
