Quite a few actually. Along Bernauer Strasse there are still some nooks
and crannies of the wall left. There is even a fleamarket in the former
death strip. Walk towards Chauseestrasse and there is another stretch of
Wall still standing. Take the SBahn from Friedrichstrasse towards
Frohnau and you will come out in the former death strip. And the lower
level of Friedrichstrasse station where you will get on is still as it
was in the DDR.
If I remember correctly, there was a section of Wall where the same
train passes from Lichtenrade to Mahlow. That was in 1994 though. And of
course there is the East Side Gallery and Niederkirschnerstrasse in
Kreutzberg.
There are some scattered ruins along the Griebnitzsee which are all
graffiti-ed. Beyond that I could suggest taking your hiking boots and
walking the whole length of the former Death Strip. Let us know what you
find.

At any rate check out my virtual museum of Berlin pictures. It's not yet
annotated but it has tons of pics. Someday I'll get round to naming them
all.

Go to "Places" and then "Germany" and have fun. And yes, that arrow was
modelled on East German Avant Garde. (I wrote the program myself.)
