The Berlin Wall was erected by the GDR in August 1961 and divided the city until 1989. Kennedy’s visit to West Berlin on June 26, 1963 included an inspection of the Wall, which in the context of the Cold War represented the central symbol of German division. The photograph documents the structural condition of the border installation at the time of the visit: concrete elements, barbed wire, and ruins visible behind it.
