This weekend was one of the most important anniversaries in the history of the Berlin city - the fall of the Berlin Wall, which happened on 9th of November 25 years ago. Therefore, the city prepared symbolic boarder of lights, which consisted of thousands illuminated balloons. The 15 km line of balloons was placed thought the heart of Berlin, where the Wall used to be. The event started on Friday, 7 November and ended on Sunday 9 November, when the balloons were released.
On Friday after work we went with some friends to one of the main gathering points Brandenburg Gate. Everything seemed to be ready; the stage, food and beverage stands were there.
And most importantly, the line of balloons was ready. "Lichtgrenze" - boarder of lights divided the city in two, just like the Wall used to.
There were a lot more visitors on Sunday night. We arrived shortly after they started to release the balloons, one by one. They symbolized the end of the division and happiness that came with it.
Greetings from Berlin,
Jerneja & Boris
