Berlin was not this split point in the middle of the country, it was firmly in Eastern Germany. People attempted to scale the wall to either rejoin family, or escape persecution for crimes. While one side is understandable, the other is because these people would have been under police custody, and likely would not have once if they escaped. Information would leak, and understandbly the East German government would rather that not be the case.
I remember what almost nothing I've been told about the Berlin Wall, pretty much nothing aside from "communism bad", and this image looks like the narrative I've been told has some plotholes that really need to be explained.
