Detailed explanation-1: -Only foreigners were allowed to cross through it. Even more important was that it was the only gateway where East Germany allowed Allied diplomats, military personnel and foreign tourists to pass into Berlin’s Soviet sector.
Detailed explanation-2: -East Berliners and GDR citizens were not permitted to cross the border. People traveling between the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin used transit routes with their own border crossing points.
Detailed explanation-3: -The GDR did not encourage emigration, perhaps not surprisingly considering that the inner German border fortifications and Berlin Wall had been erected specifically to stop emigration. There was no formal legal basis under which a citizen could emigrate from the country.
Detailed explanation-4: -(Eventually, the GDR built 12 checkpoints along the wall.) At each of the checkpoints, East German soldiers screened diplomats and other officials before they were allowed to enter or leave. Except under special circumstances, travelers from East and West Berlin were rarely allowed across the border.
