Tränenpalast, The Palace of Tears

Tränenpalast, The Palace of Tears
Berlin, Germany (DE)
The Tränenpalast (eng. "Palace of Tears") is the Berlin colloquialism for the former border crossing station at the Berlin Friedrichstrasse railway station.

The name comes from the many tearful goodbyes that took place in front of the building, where visiting citizens of the divided city had to say farewell to their East German relatives that were not permitted to travel to the Western part of Berlin.
