The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall was the important Cold War symbol that was destroyed in Germany in 1989. It was a physical barrier that separated East Berlin from West Berlin and symbolized the division between the democratic and communist worlds during the Cold War. Its demolition marked the reunification of East and West Germany and the end of the Cold War era.
1989 saw the collapse of communist rule in East Germany and talks started immediately on the reunification of Germany which happened in 1990.

Yes and No.At the end of the Second World War-1945, Germany became divided between the pro-western fascistic nation of West Germany, and the Soviet Union dominated communist government run East Germany. This post-occupation division was caused by the Unated States. West Germany would be the Federal Republic of Germany. The United States, Great Britain, and France would have troops stationed there (and in West Berlin) as part of NATO defenses.In East Germany, the communist nation, known as the DDR, had the Soviet Union station troops there as part of the Warsaw Pact alliance opposing NATO.In 1989 the East German (communist) government was betrayed and DDR was forcefully annexed to BRD.
The tearing down of the Berlin wall occurred in Berlin in 1989. It was torn down and destroyed. This helped unite both East and West Germany.
The Berlin Wall separated the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. Many people thought it was a symbol of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was taken down on November 9, 1989.
The capital of West Germany in 1989 was Bonn.
The Fall of the Berlin Wall was a symbol of the much larger political divisions that were being undone in Germany in 1989. For example, the economic bankruptcy of the East German government had more to do directly with German unification, but the visual symbol of the Berlin Wall galvanized public sentiment.
The reunification of Germany in 1989 was called die Wiedervereinigung.
The Berlin wall was deconstructed on November 9, 1989. It opened in 1961. The wall completely cut off West Berlin from East Berlin and East Germany.
