The famous Berlin Wall separated Germany's capital both physically and ideologically until it was torn down when the Soviet Empire fell. When was it constructed?

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic, essentially splitting the city into East and West. The storied barrier consisted of guard towers set along huge concrete walls, as well as a vast area filled with anti-vehicle trenches, nail beds, and other fortifications.
