Tränenpalast (Palace of Tears) in Berlin Passport COntrol Booths

The Tränenpalast (Palace of Tears) was the departure hall at Friedrichstraße station for travelers departing from East Germany to West Berlin during much of the Cold War.

Passport controls were very strict with the slightest doubts or mistakes could lead to interrogation, jail and a prohibition on travel. Both German and foreign travelers had to pass through the strict controls.
