Twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, changing the face of Europe forever - but what was it like to live through those experiences?

Click on our interactive Google map to relive some of the key moments from Germany's revolutionary year - and to hear first-hand accounts from those who witnessed history in the making.

Red markers show where the most important events in the collapse of the GDR regime took place - and feature video of those events.

Yellow markers feature first-person accounts of life in East Germany and West Berlin in the run-up to the fall of the wall in 1989.

The old East German border is marked in blue.
