1989: Fall of the Berlin Wall
Do you remember what you were doing on the day the Berlin Wall fell? For many, the hours and days after the opening of the border crossings on 9 November 1989 were a radical experience and they are happy to recall this historic step towards the reunification of the two German states, which had been divided for over 40 years. The Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek invites you on a journey through time: photographs from 1989 and 1990 provide a look back at this special moment in German history.
