Karl-Ludwig Lange Berlin, Potsdamer Platz

Berlin, Potsdamer Platz

Here in Berlin the consequences of the war were highly visible and directly noticeable. Physically. With the 9th of November 1989, the Second World War came to an end, a reason for relief and joy to be able to live in the whole of Berlin now. The picture shows the opening of the Berlin Wall in the evening of the Sunday on 12 November 1989 at Potsdamer Platz with the TV tower, a day before full moon. The Leipziger Straße and the historical core of the separated city were now reachable via the death zone.
