Berlin Wall November 1989, I was there! sent on November 09, 2019 (15:10) by Rinaldo1005. 74 comments, 1323 views. [retina]

Berlino Novembre 1989, io c'ero. La notizia fece il giro di tutti i notiziari d'Europa, il muro di Berlino costruito dal regime social comunista nel 1989 veniva riaperto. Ero lí avanti alla televisione ed ero incredulo mentre osservavo le immagini delle persone che chi a piedi chi a bordo del loro Trabant, passavano felici la frontiera . Decisi quindi che era un momento storico che non potevo perderlo. All'epoca non ero un grande appassionato della fotografia ma cominciavo ad effettuare qualche scatto. Un rullino di diapositive costava all'epoca circa 10 marchi tedeschi, 10.000 Lire e per l'epoca erano soldi. Detto, fatto. A bordo della mia vecchia Fiat Ritmo mi misi in viaggio direzione Berlino. All'epoca non era come oggi, fra le frontiere europee, bisognava esibire i documenti, alla frontiera della DDR (Deutsche Demokratische Repubblik) ti rilasciavano un documento giornaliero di identità. Sempre se non ti rimandavano indietro. Se protestavi, rimanevi, ma solo in prigione. Durante il "corridoio" autostradale che attraversava la DDR per arrivare a Berlino Ovest, era tutto vietato. Vietato lasciare l'autostrada anche in caso di necessitá, vietato scattare foto del territorio ma particolarmente di ponti e ferrovie, vietato nelle stazioni di servizio parlare con la gente del settore est. Se trasgredivi, non c'era nessun buonista ad aiutarti. Berlino era fredda, grigia e inospitale. Arrivai al muro quando oramai calavano le prime ombre della sera. Lo scatto mi immortala mentre con martello e scalpello che avevo "sequestrato" ad un Inglese pochi secondi prima, mi accingo a rompere un pezzettino di muro. Ero proprio di fronte alla porta di Brandemburgo. I soldati della DDR passavano sul muro mentre i poliziotti della Germania Ovest pattugliavano da sotto. Appena passavano scomparivano martelli e picconi. Quelli lí sul muro avevano il grilletto facile. Appena passati si riascoltavano i picchiettii. Un'atmosfera indescrivibile. Dopo lo scatto ho restituito il tutto :-) L'inglese mi disse : " You're crazy" come se lui non lo fosse da se. Quel pezzettino di muro lo custodisco ancora nella vetrinetta del soggiorno. Un muro, quello di Berlino costruito nel 1961 che fu l'emblema disumano e divise intere famiglie e l'intera città. Ci furono casi in cui i genitori si trovarono da un lato e i neonati dall'altra parte del muro. Dal 13. agosto1961 al 9. Novembre 1989 persero qui la vita ben 140 persone. Non erano persone che volevano entrare per assaporare il regime social comunista, ma erano persone che avendolo assaporato, volevano fuggire da esso. Un grazie particolare va a Papa Giovanni Paolo II che fu uno dei massimi artefici per l'abbattimento di questo muro. I muri comunque non sono da vedere solo in senso negativo. Ci hanno difeso per secoli da violenze e da barbarie provenienti dall'esterno. Oggi dei muri quelli giusti, ne abbiamo ancora bisogno.

historical document of great impact, I add that the people who belong to a certain political "area" have not yet realized that with the wall their ideology has collapsed and continues to profess it as if nothing had happened :-( congratulations, hello

Congratulationrinaldo for the photos/document you made but also for the beautiful story that without
the healthy recklessness of youth it would not have been possible to live it.
A dear greeting, Livio

Dear Rinaldo,
what to say besides what you, so well, expressed in your caption.
Yours is a direct testimony of those who lived those moments firsthand with all the unknowns that were still far from being... Defined.
Congratulations for your image and thank you so much for sharing with us this experience really... Only.
A very affectionate greeting and a good Sunday,
Paul

Dear Rinaldo you did well to publish these historical photos. I remember those particular moments too, but only in front of the TV. Thank you for sharing such an important historical moment. We hope that it will serve as an example and a warning to future generations not to build walls but bridges!
Thank you Giorgio, but the walls are also useful. Believe me ;-)

Great rewind and exhumed and exciting frames of a resounding and (finally) positive historical event that will remain written in the annals of time :-).
Wonderful and engaging also the personal and participated story that describes the moment and the will to "be there" and hold a analog crumb (later converted to digital) of an unforgettable moment: Rinaldo congratulations for the amarcord of thought obviously related to a date coincident that expresses the "status" really exclusive and historical ;-). A dear and good Sunday, Claudio :-P
