The Berlin Wall represented the seeming permanence of the Cold War. It fell on November 9, 1989, in a shocking and peaceful accident of history.
The Berlin Wall fell 30 years ago, on November 9, 1989.

But the story of Mauerfall — which is how Germans refer to the fall of the Berlin Wall — is much more complicated and fascinating than many commonly recall today.
