This new year's eve ’89 in Berlin was a very special joy and holiday. A, the there were never. And will give. The "joy, beautiful spark of the gods" has rarely been so fervently sung, some to enter but remained silent, because them scary was that came to you. The GDR, with its mechanisms was still there, but only as a ghostly state, everyone knew that the settlement was imminent. Or the friendly Takeover: The brother-and-sisters-state embraced the workers-and-peasants-state so violently that the breath away: The thickness of the large cabbage in full in addition to the frail de Maiziere – as the screen burst. The height of the eyes?

Christmas was in the East, Hans Modrow, at the helm. Both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, on 22. in the pouring rain, the flight was transformed to tears of joy showers, through the Brandenburg gate, the wide-legged barricades wall was made the night before by NVA-troops of peaceful permeable. Those who were there will forget this night-time scenario, The border guards destroy their work to the masonry, the making for 28 years before his own Work, and their desire had to guard.

Several hundred thousand had come to the gate, because they have something Solemn expected. Everything, immediately, without delay. Spontaneous and irregular.

As a Video wall of television broadcasting from Adlershof collapsed because they could no longer take the masses, there were 135 wounded, Under the Linden trees, is a dead lay. The city cleaning is fought at the end by an inch high covering made of glass, O friends, do not splinter: 'this sounds!

A Minute to twelve, the Baby George saw the flash of light at the Charité: 48 inches tall, 2710 grams. Mother Mechthild Wolf, an Economist, spotlights to the double happiness in the camera. We wanted to make George, the first Baby in the year of the reunification, find, which, unfortunately, failed. Maybe he answers: Georg Wolf or Dietze (the father). New year 29 years old.

in search of fresh, free air

new year's eve 1989/90: The transitional society. Transitions, from East to West and Vice versa was virtually closed by the border. Joy of reunion. Curiosity. Looking for fresh, free air. The a drive to the Bavarian Relatives (and discover that the East-Nutcracker-or -Smoking males in the West basement are stranded), the other to bring a selection of 200 cheeses from the KaDeWe Department store in the East, and the rave: Well, that’s all very soon with you.

And so it comes to Abundance.
