GDR - Fall of the Wall - Brandenburg Gate

One day after the opening of the Wall, curious onlookers stand at the border fence in front of Brandenburg Gate on the eastern side of Berlin, 10 November 1989. Several hundreds of people already sit on the Wall behind the Gate. From West Berlin, they climbed the western side of the Wall which is several metres thick in this location. Brandenburg Gate was opened as a border crossing as late as 22 December 1989. Photo: Michael Richter
