Built by East Germany in 1961 to halt a flood of refugees from Communism, the Wall dividing Berlin had epitomised the Iron Curtain. Following growing crises throughout the 80s across the USSR and desperate efforts at reform, East German leaders promised free movement from 10 November 1989. At midnight on the 9th, thousands began to pour through the checkpoints from both sides, clambering and dancing on the Wall and hacking at it. The job was completed by bulldozers and, within the year, there was a new, reunified Germany

New Year in Berlin, 1989 - 1990 - A Glimpse of Hope through the Berlin Wall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in time, showcasing the New Year celebrations in Berlin during the transition from 1989 to 1990. The image offers a new perspective from the East, symbolized by a hole in the infamous Berlin Wall. Constructed by East Germany in 1961 as an attempt to prevent citizens from fleeing communism, this concrete barrier had long represented the division between East and West, embodying the Iron Curtain that separated Europe during the Cold War era. However, as crises unfolded across the USSR throughout the 80s and calls for reform grew louder, change was imminent. On November 10th, 1989, East German leaders promised free movement for their citizens. As midnight struck on November 9th though, thousands of people flooded through checkpoints on both sides of the wall. They climbed atop it with joyous abandon and even hacked away at its structure. Eventually aided by bulldozers and united efforts within a year's time frame, Germany became whole once again. This powerful photograph encapsulates not only a significant turning point in history but also represents hope triumphing over oppression. It serves as a reminder of humanity's resilience and our innate desire for freedom and unity. Memory Lane Prints presents this remarkable piece captured by Daily Mirror without any commercial intentions but rather to commemorate an extraordinary chapter that forever changed Germany and reshaped global politics during those
