Economically, East Germany was in shambles, and Bonn saw rapidly the “cost” of the whole “operation” of reunification not in a pleasing way. However, the reunion of 1/3 of the territory and people was just one side of the problem. The wall was erected in 1961, and only the peaceful Revolution 13 October 1989, followed by a final Settlement on 12 September 1990 and reunification 3 October 1990 ended this still very vivid and utterly sensitive part of the German memory and one of the most compelling situations provoked by the iron curtain and the cold war.
