It seems there are two bits of important #German history today, as my (East German) wife informs me that this day in 1989 was when #Schabowski announced the #Grenzeneröffnung

"Das tritt, nach meiner Kenntnis.. ist das sofort!"

#Kristallnacht #Mauerfall

Sorry, worth stating: without the #Mauerfall I wouldn't have met my wife...
