In 1989 a new travel regulation for GDR citizens comes into force. It is the beginning of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
More and more East Berliners flock to the border crossings at the Berlin Wall in order to make use of their new right to travel. A confusing situation for the border police who have yet received no instructions.
The archive material of the 10th of November 1989 gives impressions of what happens on the spot. The night before it was already suspected that something would happen at the border the next day. And so it is; GDR citizens can travel to the West after showing their personal details.
