Berlin Wall 25Th Anniversary Of The Fall
I have just been watching a short documentary on the Fall of the Berlin Wall which was 25 years ago today ,Have any ABer's been to Berlin before or after the Fall.
As part of our European tour we were booked to play at The Berlin Stadium this was years before the Fall,the choice at the time was go by Road or Train I decided we should go by road ,which meant driving through "The German Corridor"
Have you been to Berlin by this route or visited Berlin before or after the Fall.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.been there a few times - while the wall was up (I went on a sleeper train, crossed the border at Erfurt), when it had just come down - I've got some bits I hacked off it - and this month, when the middle of town seems to be a huge building site. (They're building a U-bahn link along under Unter den Linden and extending the Pergamon museum). It's still a fascinating place. The big department stories all had their winter lines in... the shops and the clothes seem more stylish than in London.
ChiilDoubt, Years before the wall fell we stayed in a small hotel just a short way from the border the people there were totally different as in attitude from the other Germans who we met and it was the general opinion that this was due to the breakup of families etc when the wall went up.
I look forward to your follow up post.

I recently read The Berlin Wall - My Part in its Downfall by Peter Millar who was working for Reuters in East Berlin at the time.
His description of the demonstrations in Dresden & Leipzig and the night the border finally opened really take you back to those few months when the whole Eastern Bloc came tumbling down
