The Fall of the Berlin Wall, Part 2

I have actually worked on this on and off over the last month or so. This is part is more video from those who experienced life behind the wall. I could write my own words about it, but I think it’s safe to say their words work much better. I may have read about or even spoken to people who lived behind it. The folks you hear in this segment are those who lived it. You’ll witness the stories of those who escaped the divided city and the freedom train from Prague among other things.

Daring Acts, reflectioning of escaping East Germany.
More escape attempts, two of which were mentioned previously. People could not go over the wall, so some went under it and one (Wolfgang Engels) drove right through it:

The Divided Village. Mödlareuth is a town of 50 people, yet the Berlin Wall ran right between this city:

The Exodus, or the Train of Freedom (Zug der Frieheit) reenactment from Prague (where many Germans stayed just prior to the Berlin Wall’s fall), which I touched upon earlier. This reflects the journey of the early post Berlin Wall. Some welcomed it but some Germans didn’t like it. I had seen a German girl just about 1 year after the Berlin Wall fell. She had mixed emotions.

Love, post Berlin Wall style, something a little more light-hearted:


The Wartburg Castle, the place where Martin Luther translated the New Testament and did many writings at this location:

The Blooming Landscapes (Die Bluhenden Lanschaften), a goal to make Germany blooming with landscapes
