9th of November – Histrocore

The opening of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989.

Historical background

In autumn 1989, East Germany faced mass protests and a growing exodus of citizens. On 9 November, a confused announcement about new travel rules brought crowds to the Berlin border crossings.

That evening, guards began letting people through. The opening of the border brought families together and cleared the way for German reunification in October 1990.
