The grounds of the former Nordbahnhof is situated between Veteranenstraße in the south and Liesenstraße in the north. Coming from Chausseestraße and Liesenstraße, the border line turns south by the S-Bahn-bridges, in the northern section of the station grounds and then follows Gartenstraße. Here the former border took a twisted course, with West Berlin extending like a peninsula into the east. Throughout the extensive and only partially accessible grounds of the railway station, numerous remnants and traces from the three different periods of the border fortifications are visible. Moreover, there are some unusually long and well-preserved sections of the hinterland Wall and patrol track, including remaining security elements such as lamp posts from the light strip, electrical installations and barbed wire and stretch-metal fences.
