Check point Charlie was the name given to the crossing point between Western and Eastern Germany at the Berlin wall. The Soviet Union erected the wall in 1961 to cut down the emigration process from the East. It prevented people from going to the West Berlin after they had escaped from Eastern part of Berlin.
