The famous wall that stood in Berlin until 1989 is the Berlin Wall. This wall was erected in 1961 during the Cold War to separate East Berlin from West Berlin, symbolizing the division between communist and democratic forces. The wall fell on November 9, 1989, marking a significant turning point in history, leading to the reunification of Germany. Its fall symbolized the end of the Cold War and the decline of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe, inspiring movements for liberation and change across the continent.
