We discuss the fateful night that marked the end of an era, including the infamous press conference, where an innocent mistake by an East German official led the Berlin Wall to come crashing down.
Joerg, who witnessed these events firsthand as a West Berliner, shares his unique perspective on the atmosphere in East Germany leading up to that historic night. We explore what it was like to be there, the immediate and long-term consequences of the wall coming down, and the complex legacy it left behind. Was the fall of the Berlin Wall purely positive, or did it bring unforeseen challenges? How has Germany navigated reunification in the years since? Join us for an insightful discussion that answers these questions and more. Don't miss this chance to understand one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
