August 15 1961. Two days after East Germany sealed off its border with the Berlin Wall. The 19-year old Hans Conrad Schumann was guarding the construction of Berlin Wall, then in its third day of construction, at the corner of Ruppinerstraße and Bernauerstraße.

At that stage of construction, the Berlin Wall was only a low barbed wirefence. As the people on the Western side shouted Komm rüber! (“come over”), Schumann jumped the barbed wire and was driven away at high speeds by a waiting West Berlin police car. Photographer Peter Leibing captured a photograph of his escape as Schumann was throwing away his rifle, and it became an enduring image of the Cold War. It won the Overseas Press Club Best Photograph award for 1961.

Schumann later settled in Bavaria and after the fall of the Berlin Wall he returned to his birthplace in Saxony. Unwelcomed by his parents and brothers and sisters and shunned by his hometown for what he had done, Schumann eventually hanged himself in 1998.
