"25 years after the fall of the wall, it's always hard to cross a bridge with a Trabi Bornholmer symbol" tells us our special correspondent in Berlin, Olaf Bruns.
The Trabant was the people's car for East Germans. With her small face, they rushed across the border from November 9, 1989 under the stunned gaze of western people who had never seen! "It gives me chills just to talk," joked the man.
The Trabant was already worship and away from the steel of which the GDR was sorely lacking, it was partly made based on cotton fibers as summarized well this man card "steel men arrived with cars could be seen" " ".
"All of a sudden we heard a noise, the street was full of these cars and my husband said, but they do not laugh, this is serious look at this! And watched, "said the woman. "At first we could not believe we had lived here for decades and we thought the world ended here, we come to accept," said the man.
Symbol of this "world" now gone, the Trabant was the imprint of the GDR in the automotive sector, far from the standards of the West in particular for his exhaust or engine ultra-hazardous .
Not own the vehicle, however the trabi transformed itself with some of his fans and no doubt that the "cycle trabi" a bright future ahead of her and her story is ultimately can not be completed!
