This legendary press conference by Günter Schabowski, spokesman for the Politburo of the SED (Socialist Unity Party of Germany) is a contemporary document that went down in world history. Therefore, this is extremely interesting to look at the whole thing in full length. This is how the viewers get the whole picture with them. In 1989, the technology was not yet ready, that just could be quickly phoned back and forth or anywhere livestreams via television or even Internet was possible. So the press conference could run without SED - Politburo members having heard anything of it live. • Review: • On the morning of November 9, 1989, the high-ranking official Gerhard Lauter, Colonel of the People's Police, wrote a new travel regulation in the GDR's interior ministry, which was supposed to save the GDR from its downfall. Unauthorized, against the order of the SED Politburo and the concerns of the Stasi, Mr. Lauter decrees there the freedom of travel for all GDR citizens, albeit orderly and bureaucratic. A little later, the paper is presented in the Central Committee of the SED, as one of dozens of points on which advises the round. Unremedied passed the new travel regulation the Central Committee. • In the afternoon, State Council Chairman Egon Krenz puts Mr Schabowski's paper in his hand. Mr Schabowski knows nothing about the fact that the content will be announced only the next morning and that the new regulation will not come into effect until 10 November 1989. On a handwritten note, he makes for the upcoming press conference at 18:00 clock the note read text travel regulation . There he carries on request of the BILD journalist Peter Brinkmann the text stammering and confused live in the GDR television and explains that the new regulation applies immediately, immediately .
