German Historical Monuments, Church, Zionskirchplatz, Mitte "The Peaceful Revolution of 1989. In short, the Peaceful Revolution was the non-violent uprising of the people of East Germany during the 1980s (mainly the fall of 1989) to express their displeasure with their government, which severely oppressed their freedom. It led to the overthrow of the DDR (GDR) government. The main events started with the Monday Prayers and demonstrations at the Nikolai Kirche in Leipzig (encouraged through Glasnost/Perestroika in the USSR, the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia and long-time organizing through the Church) and eventually led to people in Berlin climbing the wall on November 9, 1989."
