Today, Germany celebrate the 25th anniversary since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to prevent people in communist east Germany fleeing to the west.
The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 9th, 1989, is a massively significant date in history as it marked the end of the Cold War.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who grew up in East Germany, said the fall of the wall conveyed a very important message.
"The fall of the Wall showed us that dreams can come true. Nothing has to stay as it is", she said at the opening of new tourist information centre in Berlin.
As part of the celebration, Google decided to make its Google Doodle based on the Berlin Wall. Watch the clip in full below.
