Original Caption

"The pictures were taken in November 1989. On the A 9 Berg sliproad. More 'Welcome Money' pictures in Berg, and then also in Schauenstein, where we made friends with people from Thuringia. The next day, we visited the old town in Hof. It was abuzz, packed with people from the East. West Germans were allowed over the border to the East at Christmas 1989. We went to Plauen the very same day. It was an unforgettable experience. Everything was so moving that we all had tears in our eyes."

Danke für das Video! Beim Betrachten des Filmes habe ich UNS in Großaufnahme gefunden! Ich bin ganz hin und weg! Die Begeisterung war damals riesig und sie kommt in gleicher Form nach 23 Jahren wieder hoch! Nochmals danke für das Festhalten der unglaublich aufregenden Zeit!
