30 year anniversary: The Fall of the Berlin Wall

On November 9th 1989, as a culmination of the peaceful revolution against the regime of the GDR, the Berlin Wall fell, starting the process of reunification.

From no man’s land to a new habitat: a 1,400 kilometre-long nature preserve was created on the former border between East and West Germany.
