Checkpoint Alpha
Checkpoint Alpha was located in the town of Helmsted, It served as entry point to the Autobahn that leads through East Germany into West-Berlin. This was the only Autobahn that could to get to West-Berlin by land.
The East German side of this checkpoint was turned into a museum in 1996, not necessarily UE at its purist but still a good place to stop on the way into (or out of) Berlin and take a look at the extensive measures that the DDR put in place to preserve the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart"
