Berlin To Mark 25th Anniversary Of The Fall Of The Wall

BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 28: Visitors stroll along the East Side Gallery, which is a 1.3 km-long original section of the Berlin Wall and is today a popular tourist attraction, on October 28, 2014 in Berlin, Germany. The city of Berlin will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with an installation of 6,800 lamps coupled with illuminated balloons along a 15km route where the Wall once ran and divided the city into capitalist West and communist East. The fall of the Wall in 1989 was among the most powerful symbols of the revolutions that swept through the communist countries of Eastern Europe and heralded the end of the Cold War.
