The 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall is coming closer. Deutschland.de commemorates it with a new series on its blog: Zug in die Freiheit or Liberty Train - 30 September 1989: The gardens of the West German Embassy in Prague is filled with 4,000 East German refugees. The West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher addresses them: “We’re here today to tell you that today your emigration …” The rest of his words were drowned out by the shouts of joy. That same evening, the first train left from Prague for West Germany, via a nerve-wracking detour – through East Germany.
