The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked a pivotal moment in world history, symbolizing the end of the Cold War and the reunification of Germany.
For many, it was a moment of liberation, but it also highlighted the stark differences in life experiences between East and West Germans, particularly for women.
