nobody has the intention of building a wall

Fiction and non-fiction books that are about the DDR (-> German Democratic Republic). They’re about the before, during and after, about fleeing and staying, about the differences that were (and still are) between East and West Germany.

The title refers to a famous quote by Walter Ulbricht with which he declared during a press conference that nobody intends to build a wall between East and West Germany. Weeks later the building of the wall began.
