Monday demonstrations in East Germany

The Monday demonstrations helped to bring down the Berlin Wall.

The Monday demonstrations (German: Montagsdemonstrationen in der DDR) were a series of peaceful political protests against the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) that took place in towns and cities around the country on various days of the week from 1989 to 1991. The Leipzig demonstrations, which are the best known, took place on Mondays.[1] The protests are conventionally separated into five cycles.
