The
link is excellent, indeed; it describes, however, only one aspect: travelling to
and from West Berlin to the Federal Republic.
At
least six more aspects should not be forgotten (and they worked in many ways
different and more complicated, even):
1) Travel of West Germans into the DDR; stay in the
DDR; leaving the DDR (3 visa necessary and an invitation, unless on a booked
tour)
2)
Travel of West Berliners to East Berlin (Passierscheine
etc.)
3)
Travel of West Germans to East Berlin (easiest)
4)
Travel of DDR citizens 0 - 60/65 years old to the West (easy for "Reisekader";
impossible for the rest)
5)
Travel of DDR citizens over 60/65 to the West (only if
invited)
6)
Travel of foreigners to East Berlin and the DDR (funny if you were South
African, for example).
Each
of the 6 would deserve another website!

Here is an excellent link about the

(I
bet it's even better if you can read German!)
