The Fall of the Berlin Wall Video

November 9th 1989

The Wall (1962) / Berlin Wall Documentary Film Video: by rosaryfilms | video info

620 ratings | 328,159 views

The Wall (1962) / Berlin Wall Documentary Film Video. Creative Commons license: Public Domain. Government film about the erection of the Berlin Wall. From the holdings of the National Archives.Sponsor: United States Information Agency. The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a physical barrier separating West Berlin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) (East Germany), including East Berlin. The longer inner German border demarcated the border between East and West Germany. Both borders came to symbolize the Iron Curtain between Western and Eastern Europe and, ultimately, between USA and the Soviet Union. The wall separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter-century, from the day construction began on August 13, 1961 until the Wall was opened on November 9, 1989. During this period, at least 136 people were confirmed killed trying to cross the Wall into West Berlin, according to official figures. However, a prominent victims' group claims that more than 200 people were killed trying to flee from East to West Berlin. The East German government issued shooting orders to border guards dealing with defectors; such orders are not the same as shoot to kill orders which GDR officials denied ever issuing. When the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin, crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, parts of the wall were chipped away by a euphoric public and by souvenir hunters; industrial equipment was later used to remove almost all of the rest of it. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification, which was formally concluded on October 3, 1990. On Saturday, 12 August 1961, the leaders of the GDR attended a garden party at a government guesthouse in Döllnsee, in a wooded area to the north of East Berlin, at which time Ulbricht signed the order to close the border and erect a wall. At midnight, the police and units of the East German army began to close the border and by Sunday morning, 13 August 1961, the border with West Berlin was closed. East German troops and workers had begun to tear up streets running alongside the border to make them impassable to most vehicles, and to install barbed wire entanglements and fences along the 156 km (97 miles) around the three western sectors and the 43 km (27 miles) which actually divided West and East Berlin. The Soviets were not directly involved. The barrier was built slightly inside East Berlin or East German territory to ensure that it did not encroach on West Berlin at any point, and was later built up into the Wall proper, the first concrete elements and large blocks being put in place on August 15. During the construction of the Wall, NVA and KdA soldiers stood in front of it with orders to shoot anyone who attempted to defect. Additionally, chain fences, walls, minefields, and other obstacles were installed along the length of the inner-German border between East and West Germany. Due to the closure of the East-West sector boundary in Berlin, the vast majority of East Germans could no longer travel or emigrate to West Germany. Many families were split, while East Berliners employed in the West were cut off from their jobs; West Berlin became an isolated enclave in a hostile land. West Berliners demonstrated against the wall, led by their Chancellor Willy Brandt, who strongly criticized the United States for failing to respond. Allied intelligence agencies had hypothesized about a wall to stop the flood of refugees, but the main candidate for its location was around the perimeter of the city.

Deutsche Post Locations - Letter Boxes, Post Offices, Stamp Machines

Including Opening Time and Collection Times

Ever almost forgotten a birthday of someone back home? Haven't we all. Sometimes knowing the collection times could mean the difference between the card arriving on time or not. And with the Deutsche Post Locations search tool you can find the locations of all the letter boxes in an area, plus all of the collection times at each box. You can even refine the results to only display boxes after or before a certain time. Some of them have much later or earlier collections than others, and might only be minutes away from your usual box. You can also search for post offices, refining the results by locations that are still open, or that open at around a certain time. You can also search for stamp dispensers, some of which are located outside and so are operational 24 hours a day.

Watch English Language Reality TV in Berlin

Reality TV from Britain, Ireland, USA, Australia etc

I recently found this website: Reality TV Fan, on which you can watch all the latest episodes and archived episodes of all your favourite reality TV shows, as well as some you may never have heard of. Offering reality TV from English speaking countries around the world, the website simply streams the videos from the likes of YouTube and Daily Motion. The benefit is that Reality TV Fan keeps the videos organised and in order, so you don't have to go searching for each part of an episode. Instead they are displayed n order. And you won't find that, for example, you watch two parts of an episode and then can't find part 3 (as can happen on You Tube), because Reality TV Fan gets all the parts before posting the episode. When you're bored and you don't feel like struggling through any more German TV or you're bored of the CNN or BBC World news, Reality TV Fan is a good source of some mindless, veg-out reality TV entertainment, which many of us enjoy from time to time.

Current Temperature in Berlin

How cold does it get in Winter?

The weather in Winter in Berlin can be bitterly cold at times, dipping, in the past two years, to tempertatures below minus 10 degrees celsius (14 degrees fahrenheit) on several occasions. But if you're curious as to the exact temperature at any given time check out the following website, which provides the current temperature in Berlin. The site is called "Do I Need a Jacket?". The answer is likely to be YES everyday for a long time yet. In fact, you probably should be asking yourself "How many jackets do I need?"

I can recommend having a look around Peek & Cloppenburg and H & M, where you will find a great selection of stylish, but well padded and warm jackets that are very good value for money.

Warm Winter Coats are a Must in Berlin

Be prepared!

Johann Sebastian Bach

Germany's Greatest Composer

Johann Sebastian Bach, one of the worlds best known composers, is rightly considered Germany's greatest. Admired for both its intellectual and technical depth, Bach's music transcends his own baroque historical period and remains contemporary and fresh irrespective of time. Now in the 21st century Bach's timeless melodies are still a best seller in the classical genre, ranking just behind Mozart.

60 Years of the Federal Republic of Germany

Celebrations in Berlin

On 23 May 2009, Germany was 60 years old. The 23 May 1949 marked the beginning of a permanent democracy and the establishment of the state of the Federal Republic of Germany. The 60 Year Celebrations took place around the Brandendurg gate tomorrow between 10am and 10pm, with two stages featuring an orchestra and up and coming musicians and bands such as Udo Jürgens, PURE, 17 Hippies, Otto & The Friesenjungs, The BossHoss.

Information about Germany and its institutions was available on the day in tents along the stretch of Strasse des 17.Juni near Brandenburg Gate. Altogether more than 80 Institutions were represented, including Federal Ministries, the Bundestag, the Bundesrat, the Bundesverfassungsgericht, all 16 Federal States of Germany, as well as social organisations. Some of Germany's European neighbours were also guests at the event.

Between 5:30pm and 7pm the Citizens of Berlin State Chapel performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony "The Ode to the Joy", under the direction of Daniel Barenboim, at the Brandenburg Gate, whilst the Choir of the State Opera performed on Unter den Linden.

Food and drink was available at the celebrations. More information about the program of events and featured institutions was available in this section of Berlin.de, although this particular info only appeared to be available in German.

60th Anniversary Art Exhibition

Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin

In celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany, an exhibition is currently on display in the Martin Gropius Bau in Mitte, Berlin. 60 pieces of artwork, each representing a time within the last 6 decades, are displayed with a description noting the political and social events of that period in history. The show, 60 Years-60 Works. Art of the Federal Republic of Germany , runs from May 1 to June 14.

The Berlin Festival of Freedom - 20 Year Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

...and the Wall came tumbling down

On the 9th of November 1989, the Cold War came to its definitive end, without a single shot being fired. As the Berlin Wall fell piece by piece, and East-Berliners flooded into the West, some for the first time in their lives, the Iron Curtain rose and re-united Eastern and Western-Europe.

Twenty years on, Berlin is celebrating two decades of reunification, staging a range of events throughout the year. Accompanied by guests from around the world, with contemporary witnesses as well as public personalities, the city will celebrate this unforgettable event.

This poignant moment in history will be remembered in particular from the 7th to 9th of November, with the Festival of Freedom taking place on both sides of the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of the German capital. This event will be attended by famous artists, cultural figures and prominent politicians, the highlight of which will be the staging of a symbolic fall of the Wall using a 'domino effect', featuring oversized stones designed by the youth of Germany.

MTV EMAs in Berlin

The European Music Awards - O2 World Arena.

On the 5th of November 2009, Berlin hosted the MTV European Music Awards. The EMAs will took place in the O2 World Arena. The show was presented by Katy Perry with support from Pete Wentz as a digital host. Among the guest presenters announcing the winners were actress and singer Juliet Lewis from Juliet and The Licks, The Backstreet Boys, wrestler Batista, German ex-tennis player Boris Becker, actor Jean Reno, singer Joss Stone and the Jonas Brothers.

A stroke of good luck meant we were in the right place at the right time and acquired free tickets whilst standing outside the arena, and the show was a big hit. Green Day and Foo Fighters rocked the stage, playing two songs each to the live audience. Foo Fighters new Tom Petty like hit, Wheels, was followed by my all time favourite "All My Life", while Green Day blasted out "Minority" after their recent hit, "Know Your Enemy". Also performing were Tokio Hotel, Jay-Z, Shakira, and Leona Lewis.

The dedicated MTV EMA website is still in operation. Information on more events at the O2 World Arena are available on the purchase tickets for the EMAs in Berlin O2 World website.

Music from the EMA Presenters and Performers

Muse - Live in Berlin at the O2 World Arena - The Resistance Tour

Live Music in Berlin

On October 29, 2009 Muse played the O2 World Arena in Berlin. From my experience, having seen them play live 5 times, Muse have never played a bad gig, injecting originality and energy into every song at every show I've ever seen them play, with plenty of musical ad-lib and interaction with the crowd. Interraction, not so much in words, but through well-planned but heart-felt solos played to the crowd, not at the crowd, intertwined between their big hits, communicating their message to the crowd through amazing musical ability and brilliant visual effects. Unfortunately I couldn't make it to this gig, but apparently, true to form, the gig went down as a major success, the fans who were there giving it a big thumbs up on the Muse forum.
