BERLIN - NOVEMBER 09: Spectators at the bridge at Bornholmer Strasse try to take a look at German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and former Polish Solidarity leader Lech Walesa on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. The three leaders were to visit the bridge and the train station below because it was there that in 1989 that guards opened the first border crossing and allowed East Berliners to walk unimpeded into West Berlin. The city of Berlin is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall, which led to the end of communist rule in East Germany and later on the reunification of East and West Germany, with a spectacular event at the Brandenburg Gate and the participation of international leaders.
