Answer 1

Because of the name, where else you gonna erect something called the Berlin wall!

But also the city was isolated into zones controlled by different powers, and people wanted to leave the Soviet controlled areas and the Soviets did not want this as it made them look bad; so they built walls to keep people from leaving as it was a bad look.
