The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier that separated West Berlin from East Berlin throughout much of the cold war. During the wave of reform that swept Eastern Europe in 1989, the East German government relaxed border controls and eventually dismantled portions of the wall to the great joy of residents on both sides.
