EU and Its Members Collectively Facing Issues
The town of Dallgow-Döberitz, located in the western outskirts of Berlin and near the former inner-German border, served as the host for a poignant memorial event on the 64th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's construction.
The central event took place in Seeburg, a community within Dallgow-Döberitz, and was attended by local officials, historians, former border guards, and citizens. The occasion marked a significant moment to remember the Wall’s impact on freedom and division, and to reflect on the importance of democracy and European unity.
Robert Crumbach, Deputy Minister-President and Finance Minister, delivered a speech at the event. He emphasised the inhumanity of separating people with walls, stating that the idea of doing so was senseless and inhumane. Crumbach also urged the importance of building bridges between people instead of fences and walls.
The event commemorated the victims of Germany's division, with a memorial stone for Vladimir Odinzow, who was shot dead at the Berlin Wall in 1974, being unveiled in the afternoon. Landtag President Ulrike Liedtke (SPD) spoke at the memorial event, emphasising the importance of unity in Germany to prevent division.
Liedtke's speech highlighted the opportunities that the fall of the Wall brought for East and West, calling for unity in Germany. Politicians laid wreaths in memory of the victims at the Berlin Wall, and the Brandenburg state parliament and government paid tribute to the victims of Germany's division on the anniversary of the Berlin Wall's construction.
