“I saw the Berlin Wall fall on television, it was incredible. Everyone thought it was a joke and in the end it wasn’t a joke at all” remembers Cren who was on the West German side. AkteOne is East German.

In the room dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, there will also be photos from the time by Jan K Tyrel who attended this incredible event. “Visitors will also be able to add their signature or graffiti to part of the wall, as in 1989,” explains Stanislas Belhomme, the founder of MAUSA.

“In our museum in Bitche, we have a Trabant which crosses the Berlin Wall. The Germans are very touched by this tribute, it is also a way of showing that there is this reunification and this Franco-German friendship which exists well and in a museum”, adds Stanislas Belhomme.
