Title:
A quick bus ride to and from Steinstücken (Berlin) ca. 1988

Description:
(NB: I put the same video at better quality at http://tinyurl.com/2w8p5c ). Steinstücken was a tiny portion (about 200 inhabitants) of West Berlin that was disconnected from it. In 1972 a land swap with East Germany was arranged to provide direct access to the exclave from the main body of West Berlin. The resulting road was about 1 km long and, naturally, was lined with the Wall on both sides. The video shows first a quick glimpse of an unused S-Bahn track cut off by the Wall on the West Berlin side (in Kohlhasenbrück/Zehlendorf) then the short bus ride into the exclave along Bernhard-Beyer-Straße (the access road). After looking around the end of the street for a few minutes, we take the bus back into Zehlendorf in "mainland" West Berlin.

Berlin - Tunnelhaus
Escape tunnel underneath the Wall --- TV-report about a famous tunnel that had been secretly build to get East Germans out of the country underneath the Wall in the 60's. There had been a number of them, but this is certainly the most famous one. You can see Hasso Herschel, one of the makers of the tunnel, in the film. The making of the tunnel had been filmed 'on location' by american NBC at the time (black & white coverage shown) and a movie was made of the story, based on the true facts ...

This is for sound mostly, it seems I'm not the only one with this sort of odd hobby. It's much better in the original stereo because of the sense of space it projects but youtube does not support stereo sound yet (although they recommend uploading stereo tracks - go figure). Note the presence of station agents making the announcements - they are gone now. Also, no door closing signal.
