context_page_description: Checkpoint Bravo was the name given by the Western Allies to the main Autobahn border crossing point between West Berlin and the German Democratic Republic. It was known in German as Grenzübergangsstelle Drewitz-Dreilinden. Drewitz is a community nearby, and Dreilinden is the name of the wooded area in Berlin through which the highway passes.
context_section_description: The site of the original, pre-1969 checkpoint (rest stop, adjacent car park and abandoned highway) was used in filming the Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei television series. The site itself, "which includes a derelict bridge and a crumbling cafe covered in graffiti," was auctioned in September 2010 for €45,000.
  The vast site of the East-German checkpoint was eventually converted into a commercial park named Europarc Dreilinden (in German). All that remains of the checkpoint is the former main control tower that now houses a museum of the checkpoint.
