The Berlin Wall came down in 1989.
Key Takeaway: The German Democratic Republic built the Berlin Wall, a concrete barrier, to separate West German from East Germany (and thus, West Berlin from East Berlin). In 1989, following a series of huge political changes in the Eastern Bloc, the East German government announced that for the first time in many decades, all citizens of the German Democratic Republic could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds from East and West Germany climbed onto the wall in celebration. Over the course of a few weeks, citizens worked to chip away at the wall (though the majority of it was removed by the government later). The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for the reunification of Germany, finally concluding in October of 1990.
