the Berlin Wall was built on Sunday August 13, 1961 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR.) They built it so East Germans could not escape from the Soviet Union. The end of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of the reunification of Germany started in the summer of 1989, when Hungary decided to take down the Iron Curtain and open the borders which created an exodus of thousands of East Germans going to West Germany. It came down on the 11th and 12th of November 1989.
