ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the Walter Momper's speech in Berlin City Hall on November 1989. He was born in 1945, was mayor of West Berlin, and is chairman of the SPD Berlin parliamentary party. His speech focuses on the reunification of German and the removal of Berlin Wall, which had divided the city since 1961 and is opened on November 9. The demonstration on November in East Berlin was forged by an exemplary democratic culture. This is the first democratic revolution in Germany since the revolution, which also took place on November. It is the first revolution that has succeeded with completely peaceful means, that is being implemented with peaceful means. Today we have seen the people on the top of the Wall at the Brandenburg Gate. Those were young people. It all happened faster than any of us thought, and hope that other developments will come as quickly as all of us hope: the development of Berlin as freedom.
