Germany Celebrates 30th Anniversary Of Berlin Wall

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 09: Chancellor Angela Merkel attends the commemoration of the Berlin Wall Foundation on Bernauer Strasse during the 30th anniversary celebrations of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. From 1961 until 1989 the Berlin Wall, built by the communist authorities of East Germany to prevent people from East Berlin fleeing into West Berlin, divided the city. Its opening in 1989 quickly led to the collapse of the East German communist government and the eventual reunification of Germany in 1991. (Photo by Christian Marquardt-Pool/Getty Images)
