In autumn 1989, more and more people in the GDR took to the streets every Monday, at first mainly in Leipzig. With the call “Wir sind das Volk” (We are the people), they demanded freedom and democracy from the SED government. These peaceful Monday demonstrations (Montagsdemonstrationen) helped to bring about the fall of the Wall on 9 November 1989.
