Our Berlin Wall Ring has an amazing texture all around the band and is a reminder that it's best to break down barriers and walls. Inspired by the famous Berlin Wall, here are some interesting facts.
-The Berlin Wall separated East & West Berlin from 1961-1989 (28 years)
-The Wall symbolized division and control.
-The Wall was built without prior warning so people didn’t have time to cross before it closed off
-The Wall was 96 miles
-There were 302 watchtowers, 20 bunkers, 55,000 land mines, 259 dog runs, and machine guns that were activated by tripwires.
-When the wall was first built, only those with genuine documents were allowed to cross at the checkpoints.
-In 1987, president Reagan in his speech at the Brandenburg Gate demanded the Wall to be destroyed.
-There was no government order to bring down the wall. On November 9th, 1989, Günter Schabowski who was the government spokesman is said to have read his notes wrongly during a press conference that led to masses flooding to the Wall.
