Checkpoint Charlie Coffee Mug
Checkpoint C, better known as "Checkpoint Charlie," was established shortly after the East German regime under the control of the Soviet Union constructed the Berlin Wall in August 1961. The main function of the checkpoint was to register and inform members of the Western Military Forces before entering East Berlin. Foreign tourists were also informed but not checked in the West. Checkpoint Charlie was deactivated on 22 July 1990. Remnants of the U.S. Army guardhouse are now in the "Allierten Museum," the Allied Museum on Clayallee 135 in Berlin. Artwork by Zeke Sena.
