47 Once-Popular Touristic Destinations That Have Been Lost to Time

From 1961 to 1989, Germany was split in half between East Germany (The German Democratic Republic) and West Germany (the Federal Republic of Germany). There was no greater symbol (and physical barrier) of this divide than the Berlin Wall.

It represented the country’s divide and caused numerous issues for those living within the city. East Berliners and West Berliners were cut off from one another, and families were separated. It lasted until 1989, at the end of the Peaceful Revolution that would unite Germany. It’s a good thing it’s no longer around, but its legacy lives on.
