Palace of Tears (Tränenpalast)

Tränenpalast, or the Palace of Tears, is a poignant reminder of the division between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Located at the Friedrichstraße station, this building served as a border crossing for travelers leaving East Berlin. The name reflects the emotional farewells witnessed here as families and friends were often separated. Today, the building is a museum that provides insights into daily life in divided Berlin, featuring personal stories and artifacts from the era.
