Fall of the Wall

Checkpoint Charlie

Art at the Wall

While West Berlin still enjoyed the democratic freedoms of all West German citizens-including the right of travel anytime-East Berliners were literally "walled off" from their western counterparts for 28 years!

Citizens of Berlin were suddenly cut off from each other when construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961.

The border between East and West Germany is opened on November 9,1989. Jubilant crowds gathered on both sides of the Berlin Wall to celebrate the opening of border crossing between eastern and western parts of the city !

A monumental day in history that led to Germany`s reunification!
