No other city in the world was marked by the Cold War like Berlin. Here at the Wall, the power blocs of the world confronted each other. Here, intelligence agencies of the East and West ran their spy centers. Here, each system attempted to present its own way of life as ideal. Only after the peaceful revolution of 1989 in the GDR was the divided city able to grow together again and to become the capital of a reunited Germany.
