\"Berlin<\/a>November 9, 2014 marks the 25th<\/sup> anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. To commemorate this important event, the University of Cincinnati Libraries have created an exhibit on display in Langsam Library through fall quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cFall of the Berlin Wall,\u201d on display on Langsam Library\u2019s 5th<\/sup> floor lobby, displays a Berlin Wall timeline tracing the history of the Berlin Wall. Spanning over 65 years, the timeline begins in 1945 at the end of World War II when the Allied Powers (France, England, the United States, and the Soviet Union) split Germany into four occupation zones, and its capital, Berlin, into four sectors.<\/p>\n

Photographs in the exhibit show significant moments in the life of the Berlin Wall including its being built in August 1961, President Kennedy\u2019s 1963 \u201cIch bin ein Berliner!\u201d speech, President Ronald Reagan\u2019s 1987 \u201cMr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!\u201d speech, the tearing down of the wall in 1989 and celebrations in 2009 when the world celebrated the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n

The exhibit showcases UC Libraries\u2019 resources about the Berlin Wall, including some from past and current UC German studies faculty members. A bibliography is available online (bibliography14) <\/a>and in print at the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Created by Olga Hart, instruction librarian, Richard Schade, professor emeritus of German studies, Melissa Cox Norris, director of library communications, and Anna Freeman DAAP co-op design student, the exhibit takes its inspiration from the \u201c25 Years: Fall of the Berlin Wall\u201d celebrations being organized by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, Washington.
