9 November is Schicksalstag in Germany, which means Day of Fate.
Six notable events in German history happened on this date. The execution of Robert Blum in 1848, the end of the monarchies in 1918, the naming of Albert Einstein as the winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, Hitler’s putsch attempt in 1923, the Nazi antisemitic pogroms in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The Fall of the Berlin Wall, 1989 is has been permanently placed in the public as part of a public photo documentation wall at the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin.
