La famosa garita que era el único punto de control de entrada y salida entre las dos Alemanias cuando estaba dividida. Muy interesante la historia. En la placa al frente donde está la corona se lee la leyenda: En recuerdo del enfrentamiento de tanques en el Checkpoint Charlie el 27 de octubre de 1961, y en agradecimiento al enviado a Berlín del presidente estadounidense John F. Kennedy, el teniente general Lucius D. Clay, por su acción decisiva en la defensa de los Frethett Bertins. Octubre 2011

El Checkpoint Charlie fue el puesto de control más famoso del Muro de Berlín, un símbolo clave de la Guerra Fría que separaba Berlín Oriental y Occidental, permitiendo el paso a militares, diplomáticos y extranjeros, y destacando por momentos tensos como el enfrentamiento de tanques y los ingeniosos intentos de fuga, siendo hoy una atracción turística que muestra la historia de la división alemana. Que si bien hay mucha gente para tomarse la foto, vale la pena la espera y apreciar un poco de historia.

Se puede visitar bien. Para mi gusto estaría mejor si la calle fuese completamente peatonal y le diese más importancia al monumento. Es peligroso ya que pasan coche por ambos lados continuamente y las personas que quieres fotografiarse deben extremar la precaución; por lo que no te deja relajarte y verlo con total tranquilidad
