Email. The Berlin Wall came down 25 years ago today. Built in the middle of the night Aug. 13, 1961, the wall divided East and West Germany for 28 years to stop East Germans from leaving the Soviet Union-occupied country for the capitalist western state. SLIDESHOW: 'Tear Down This Wall!'. Over the years, what began as a simple fence turned into a concrete wall that separated the capital and became a focal point of the Cold War. On Nov. 9, 1989, the East German government announced its citizens could move west.
Through research, I learned that the Berlin Wall was built to prevent East Germans from crossing over into the West. It was constructed in 1961. It lasted almost thirty years as a symbol between the Communists and the non-Communists.n 1991 the wall had been completely knocked down and Germany was reunited. The Berlin Wall was torn down due to political changes in Europe; Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev lost his control by 1990, and the Soviet Union fell apart.
