"Ist das sofort... unverzüglich."

-, 6:53 P.M. CET, 11-09-1989 On November 9th, 1989, at 6:53 P.M. CET, Günter Schabowski, with the phrase “ist das sofort, unverzüglich”, made the Berlin Wall obsolete without government forces knowing, during a press conference. It was after 7:01 P.M. CET, the time the press conference ended, that East German citizens were rallying up to the wall to demand its opening because “Schabowski said we can”. The East German borders, alongside with the Berlin Wall, opened at 10:45/11:30 P.M. CET. 🇩🇪
