Dear Berlin-Fan, 
See you soon in Berlin at the festival of the year,
Carolin from visitBerlin
 
P.S.: Here you will find all the anniverday events.

1989 - The fall of the Wall
The Berlin Wall fell on the evening of 9 November 1989. Countless East and West Berliners made history this night. They climbed over the concrete walls, surged through the narrow passages, hammered their way through the wall and re-conquered their city as a whole. The images of this historic event were seen around the world.
 
2019 - 30 years later
Today, 30 years on, Berlin is no longer a walled city, but a cosmopolitan city. Since then, millions of visitors have made their way to the German capital to witness this change. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, new spaces were created – wastelands that residents and visitors adjudged to be their creative freedom: the art scene in Brunnenstrasse, the Berlin start-ups on Moritzplatz, or simply access to the Spree.

Even 30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, you can still find traces, remains, and memorials all over Berlin:

• Longest open-air gallery in the world: East Side Gallery
• Former Stasi prison: Berlin Hohenschönhausen Memorial
• Place of remembrance: The Berlin Wall Memorial
• Cycle along the former Berlin Wall: Berlin Wall bike tour
• Famous border crossing: Checkpoint Charlie

You can follow the former course of the Wall on Berlin’s streets with the help of the double row of cobblestones in the ground.

We are collecting handshapes and stories from people who meet in Berlin. With this project, we want to remember that this would not have been possible 30 years ago.
 
What is Berlin HANDSHAPE?
Berlin HANDSHAPE brings two strangers from different backgrounds together in conversation.
A piece of clay, held by both, symbolises the moment of their interaction. And will stay behind as a witness of their handshake, their encounter. A real Berlin HANDSHAPE.
 

In 3,5 hours our local guides will show you what’s left of the wall and what life really was like in a divided city from a personal and human perspective.

An intimate portrayal and impressively presented exhibition about the life and times of one of the most iconic freedom fighters and political leaders in the world.
