DW TV: The Fall of the Berlin Wall...Share your thought!

The Fall of the Berlin Wall



What does the Fall of the Berlin Wall mean to you?


Share your thoughts or tell us your story!
Answers from across the world will be presented in our special live broadcast on Monday,9 November 2009.
The Day the Wall Fell Monday, 9 November 2009To mark the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago, DW-TV will broadcast live for 24 hours from Berlin's Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz, starting at:

07:00 UTC, Monday, 9 November, till07:00 UTC, Tuesday, 10 November

Two decades ago, a peaceful revolution triggered the collapse of Communist East Germany and the advent of a united Germany, as the Cold War drew to a close and Europe's division ended.
November 9th is a special moment in German history, particularly for the people of Berlin whose memories of that momentous day are filled with joy and emotion. The German capital embodies the growing together of East and West like nowhere else, with its iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag building and the glittering Potsdamer Platz, once part of the East-West border death strip. Nowadays, it has become difficult even to find traces of the Berlin Wall that once scarred the city!

On 9 November, DW-TV will be in the midst of the festivities on Potsdamer Platz and at the Brandenburg Gate for a 24-hour live broadcast.
Germany is celebrating - come and join the party!
