It depends on when these huge demonstrations broke out. In the 1970s, the embattled Communist leadership wanted to break with the past to carry out its avowed goal of socialist renewal. In 1989, huge demonstrations broke out pressing for the end of Communism and for the reunification of Germany into one democratic country.

It is in the east of Germany, in what was once East Germany.

Whit Monday (German: Pfingstmontag) is a Holy Day of Obligation, and a public holiday in Germany.

The reunification of Germany (1990) became possible during the breakup of the Soviet Union, and is symbolized by the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, which had divided the city beginning in 1961.

The borders of East Germany were opened after public demonstrations, and the destruction of the Wall began around November 9, 1989.

people in the east Germany thought that life in west Germany is more comfortable than in the east Germany
