Before November 1989? I'm astonished.

Definitely. It was about August 1989. No sign of wall coming down at
all. They had DDR 40 in lights on a property in Alexanderplatz. Hard to
believe now that it never got much further!
Went up the funkturm as well- quite a good meal in the telecafe for £5.

The Funkturm is in West Berlin.

At that time of course the West Berlin S Bahn was being operated by the
BVB (BVG) in West Berlin, at least those parts of it which were open.

Maybe you are confusing various parts of Berlin? Köpenick is in the
East, Funkturm in the West.


Cheers,
