Contrary to
popular belief, Oktoberfest is actually in September. While Munich is where
it’s at, I’m pretty sure every city does a little something to celebrate 😆 Berlin definitely does! While on a stroll, I stumbled across this at Alexanderplatz,
conveniently located near my home!
My first
weekend in Berlin was conveniently a long weekend. October 3rd is
German Unity Day. Germany was divided for almost half a century after the
Second World War and on October 3rd 1990 that finally came to an end when east and
west were officially reunified - the German Democratic Republic (communist part)
joined the Federal Republic of Germany and the Berlin wall came down. More on
this in future posts since I did tours since the fall. Each year this day is a
public holiday with celebrations across the city. This was
the scene at the Bradenburg Gate:
