In November 1989 the wall of Berlin fell. I was here on this very special day. I
drove to Berlin early on Sunday morning. In Hamburg I bought a city map of Berlin,
but was advised to drive home again by the tankpasser. However, I did not let that
deter myself. From Hamburg to Berlin it smelled bad of the many trabants that were
driving the other way. The passport took an hour, and then it went straight to Berlin,
directly to the Brandenburg Gate on the 17th of June Strasse, which was renamed
November 9th Strase. There were cars everywhere, and I got my car thrown at the
helleanlæg up to the Brandenburg Gate. The last couple of Km I had to go on this
sunbathing but a little cold sunday. It was a couple of hours I never forget. The
pictures were used in 2009 by TV2. See the article
