1. Well, construction began on 13th August 1961, and it went through two stages before it became a concrete wall in 1965 - it started as a wire fence and then was made into an improved wire fence in 1962. For more details about this period, and the whole history of the wall, check out the Wikipedia article as it is very comprehensive.
