The mood of celebration in Berlin, both peaceful and moving, allowed the emotional significance of the historic landmark of the fall of the wall to be felt once again and spread a positive image of Berlin all around the world.
The great “Berlin Reunion” is now history – but everyone who was there will remember these days of dreamlike wonder for the rest of their lives.

Their celebratory parade will take the two GIANTS through the government quarter, past the Chancellery to the Moltke Bridge, where uncle and niece will board a boat at 2pm and leave Berlin by water in the direction of the museum island, the Jannowitz Bridge, Oberbaum Bridge and Elsen Bridge.
