Two Berliners have lunch at the wall in November 1989, just before it fell.

The Berlin Wall divided the modern capital of Germany from August 3, 1961, until November 9, 1989 for a total of 10,316 days.

As of February 5, 2018, it has been 10,316 days since the wall fell.

A wave of revolutions swept across the Communist Bloc of Eastern Europe, and the wall came tumbling down, sparking the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in 1991.
