I dare to say that November the 9th is the most eventful day in modern German history.

1. 09.11.1918 – Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany abdicates after the German Revolution, and in Germany a democratic Republic is proclaimed for the first time: the Weimar Republic.
2. 09.11.1923 – In Munich, police and government troops crush the Nazi Beer Hall Putsch, in which Hitler & co. conducted a failed coup d’état against Germany’s Weimar Republic.
3. 09.11.1938 - Kristallnacht (Night of the Broken Glass; November Pogrom). Nazi paramilitary forces and civilians broke the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues, while Nazi authorities looked and did nothing to stop it.
4. 09.11.1989 - The Berlin Wall falls, as well as the Iron Curtain.
