TitleBerlin Wall Resources
Body
Here are some resources dealing with the Berlin Wall:

---
The website http://www.herzlichen-glueckwunsch-deutschland.de/ has a whole downloadable packet about German history since 1949. This webpage has other stuff on it as well, but to find the teacher stuff, you will need to click in the right corner of the webpage. The historical stuff for teachers explains important dates, people and events concisely. There are worksheets, etc. included in the whole thing.
