East Germans Cross Border
Celebrating the opening of the border between East and West Germany, a smiling man holds a bottle of sparkling wine out of the window of a Trabant car on the road, Rudolphstein, Bavaria, Germany, November 9, 1989. Germany had been divided since 1949 and the creation of the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (or German Democratic Republic, better known as East Germany), though it wasn't until 1952 that the border was fully fortified. By contrast, the Berlin Wall which split the city of Berlin and completely surrounded the 'western' half, was constructed in 1961. (Photo by Sven Creutzmann/Mambo Photo/Getty Images)
