Fall of the Berlin Wall

It's been 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall For many years, the Berlin Wall separated East Germany from West Germany, acting as a barrier that symbolised the political divisions of the time.

On November 9, 1989, the East German government announced that all East Germany citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. When the Italian reporter Riccardo Ehrmann asked Günter Schabowski, the spokesman for the SED Politburo, when this would apply, Schabowski seemed unsure, but then said "immediately". Within minutes, crowds gathered at the border demanding to cross.
