The Mauer 1 mandible is the oldest-known specimen of the genus ''Homo'' in Germany. It was found in 1907 in a sand quarry in the community Mauer, around south-east of Heidelberg. The Mauer 1 mandible is the type specimen of the species ''Homo heidelbergensis''. Some European researchers have classified the find as ''Homo erectus heidelbergensis'', regarding it as a subspecies of ''Homo erectus''. In 2010 the mandible's age was for the first time exactly determined to be 609,000 ± 40,000 years.Günther A. Wagner et al.: ''Radiometric dating of the type-site for ''Homo heidelbergensis'' at Mauer, Germany.'' In: ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.'' vol. 107, no. 46, 2010, pp. 19726–19730 .

Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall (german: Berliner Mauer, ) was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and East Germany (GDR). Construction of the Berlin Wall was commenced by the government of the GDR on 13 August 1961. It included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, beds of nails and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" from building a socialist state in the GDR. The authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the ''Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart'' (german: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, ). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame", a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement.

The album was separately with English lyrics and a different track listing under the name ''"The Invisible Man"''. Several of the tracks on ''"The Invisible Man"'' were edited slightly and therefore last for a different length than the German versions on ''Die Chinesische Mauer'' and sides 1 and 2 were swapped for a more commercial track-listing.
