"On 15 January 1990, this demonstration, with its ensuing rally, took place under the proclamation, 'Warning Strike'. 30,000 people (almost the entire workforce employed by Jena's large concerns) took part. Following the demonstration around the old town of Jena, participants gathered in the Central Square (called Eichplatz today) in Jena. The reason behind the warning strike was a fear that the old GDR structures would be strengthened during the modernisation process."
