Berlin 20 years after the Fall of the Wall
Dear Mr. Joh of The Seoul Times!

In the past few days, Berliners have shown millions of guests what they have made of their city in the 20 years since the fall of the wall. That the world likes this new Berlin is shown by the number of visitors which has been constantly rising up until now – even in the middle of a worldwide economic crisis. Twenty years after its reunification, Berlin has risen again as a cosmopolitan metropolis. This awakens curiosity worldwide, as well as – and we are particularly pleased about this – sympathy.

Berlin seems to exert a strong magnetism on artists, designers, academics – in fact, on all creative minds and free thinkers – leading to an inspiring atmosphere, which in turn attracts other people – a wonderful merry-go-round.

I would like to use this anniversary to address you in the name of all my colleagues. You have helped Berlin, be it as journalist, tour operator or business partner, to once more anchor this city in people¡¯s minds, and even more importantly, in their hearts. In Germany, Europe or the world. For this, we thank you most kindly.

Countless numbers of people experienced the ceremony at the Brandenburg Gate together live on the television on monday evening. These touching images imprinted themselves in people¡¯s memories and created a desire for more of Berlin. The picture of Berlin as a place of freedom, a focal point of European history and a city where people live tolerantly and openly with each other will surely strengthen its appeal in the future even further.

We are looking forward to the tasks that still lie before all of us together. Please keep hold your good impression of Berlin and the BTM.

Warmest regards,

Nov. 12, 2009
