No.


What do you mean when you say no? Would there not have been border
control coming from East Berlin into West Berlin?

Yes, they would be inside Friedrichstraße station. But they were
separate from the ticket sale. DR would sell the ticket from East to
West Berlin to anyone in any currency they chose without checking the
passport.

So, I guess you went through the border control first, and then bought
your ticket.
