25 Years of Reunification at LASER COMPONENTS
What does this mean for photonics and our company?
Just as with any other anniversary or day of remembrance, the 25th anniversary of German reunification is an excellent opportunity to commemorate the concrete events that took place on October 3, 1990, and before that on November 9, 1989, and to reflect on the 25 years that have since passed.
The images are unforgettable: Leipzig and its “Wir sind das Volk” (“We are the people”) chants leading up to November 9, 1989; Berlin on the evening of November 9, 1989, when the first “hole” in the Wall made it possible for hundreds of East and West Berliners – surprised and overjoyed – to fall into one another’s arms; the endless line of cars in the fall of 1989 when thousands of people made their way west; the lines of people waiting at the banks on June 1, 1990, to exchange their aluminum GDR “chips” for the “real, hard” German mark; and, finally, Berlin on October 3, 1990, when the joy and celebration in front of the Brandenburg Gate never seemed to end.
