Nobody took a conscious decision. In the evening of 9 November 1989 huge crowds gathered in East Berlin at the main crossing points to West Berlin and demanded to be allowed to go to West Berlin. After some argument, the bewildered frontier guards just stamped their passports and let them through. In the night of 9-10 November 1989 some exuberant Berliners started chipping at the Wall with pick-axes and so made a start on removing the Wall. Obviously, all this was only possible because the East German government was rapidly losing its grip and was in serious difficulty.
