They said they owed their escape to a big double bed. The family fled Tuesday night from their third floor flat in. an apartment house that stands onthe border overlooking an American sector street. They told the story happily, although the 50-year-old mother broke her ankle escaping. And the double bed of Mrs. Friedrich Motters was the cause of it all. When they,. .. moved into the apartment house on the border of the American sector's Kruezb'erg district 15 years ago there was only one comer in the flat where they could properly fit their-big double bed. That cor-<p her had a Window overlooking Luckauer Platz' in West Berlin and they papered the window over. After the wall went up Aug. 13, 1961, Eastern police bricked up the windows of, all houses fiontmg-ton the border to’ prevent tenants from escaping down ropes to the West Berlin streets below. They bricked up all the windows' in the flat of the' Mottbrs family, too, except the one that had. been papered over. “It looked like the fest, of the wall and the police did not ... know there was a window behind- the wallpaper,” said Motters, a J ( 56-year-old contractor. “W<*. ditfXffot tell them. We knew' that 1 was bur escape hatch.” . . The his wife Helen, and sons Wolfgang, 24, Peter, 14. and Michael, 9—decided they had to use the hatch when' they were informed - they soon would be evicted and moved" 'to a home inside East Berlin. . •
