The Berlin Wall was officially referred to as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart by the GDR government. When was it torn down?

In 1989, a succession of uprisings in neighboring Eastern Bloc countries - particularly Poland and Hungary — set off a chain reaction in East Germany. The Pan European Picnic, in particular, initiated a peaceful process in which the Iron Curtain was substantially torn down, the Eastern Bloc's leadership came under pressure, the Berlin Wall collapsed, and the Eastern Bloc eventually disintegrated.
