Google marked the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall yesterday with an interactive video doodle that showed people hacking the stonework with chisel and hammer before large sections of the wall topple to the ground.
The wall was constructed on August 12, 1961 to divide the communist-controlled East Berlin from Allied-controlled West Berlin, reported The Daily Star.
The doodle goes on to show dismantled pieces of the wall on display throughout the world in London, Seoul, Cape Town and Madrid .
Towards the end, the focus changes to a single slab of the wall standing in Berlin with graffiti peace sign. The video ends with the Google writing encompassing the peace sign into its famous logo.
The Berlin Wall was dismantled on November 9, 1989 marking an end to three decades of division and led to the reunification of Germany in 1990.
Originally the division was just a barbed wire. The 3.6-meter tall fortifications were built over time and stretched over 65 miles.
