[asked if the fall of the Berlin Wall was an important event for him during his youth] You bet! My feelings from back then... At 13 - you don't really realize it. But in retrospect, certainly. It was indeed a change of epoch. Nobody can imagine what that means anyways. But in my generation - in the year '90, I was 14 twice. Once in the East, once in the West. I am dually socialized, so to speak, you could even say bipolarly, completely oppositely.
