How Germans Divided by the Berlin Wall Felt When It Fell

  • In November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell after 28 years dividing the German city in half. East Berlin was the communist side and cut off from western culture and the ideas of West Berlin. The wall, which was a massive concrete structure that ran through the city like a vein, was surrounded by armed guards on both sides. Thirty years ago, the wall began to crumble as East Berliners pushed for unification and communism began to fall in Europe. As the wall fell, Inside Edition was on the front lines and met with people from the East as they started their new lives in the West. #InsideEdition

    My mom was there when the wall fell. She and her friends were there when they were taking the wall down and she was able to convince the workers to let her have a go and to keep the pieces of the wall. My grandma was actually born on the East and was brought to the West by her grandfather who served in WWI and was allowed to travel to both sides for business. It’s so crazy to think about the history of my family and what they went through over on the East.

    Fun fact: Günter Schabowski (spokesman of the ruling party) got handed a note during a press conference stating that the crossing of the wall was permitted, but Egon Krenz(leader of east berlin) forgot to mention that it would take effect the next day. So the reporters asked when it would take effect and he said: "As far as I know, it takes effect immediately, without delay".

    My grandparents and my dad when he was 17 in college got separated by this wall. They only lived about 30 minutes away from eachother but he could never drive over and see them since they were on the other side of the wall. His parents just got a new house so he didn’t remember their new phone number so he couldn’t call them. When the wall fell, my dad said he had a feeling of freedom and happiness that he hadn’t felt in a long time. I can’t even imagine not being able to see your son for so long that he got engaged to my mom and is pregnant with their first child
    * he was a college student studying a PhD in nursing, starting a family etc and didn’t have much money so he couldn’t travel/move.

    That was a great day when that wall came down. It went up the year I was born. It was torn down on my 28th Birthday. Thank Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev and West Germans!

      One wall was surrounded by guards who would let you get in but not get out and would shoot you on the spot if you tried leaving. The other one is to stop illegal immigrants from entering another country.
