Wall stays another 100 years

In my previous post I showed a card where Walter Ulbricht said that there would be no wall. The wall was built less than two months after he said that at a press conference. Today we will see what his successor, Erich Honecker, says about the wall.

The card from is from the same place as my previous post about Sebastianstrasse. The new thing here is the news paper clip in the upper right part.

The clip is part of the post card, not something glued on top. The quote from Honecker says: "Wall stays another 100 years". Luckily Honecker was wrong. The newspaper was printed 20 January 1989. Honecker resigned as general of the state on 18 October 1989, succeeded by Egon Krenz. The border passages was opened on that tense night of 9 November 1989 and the wall was physically removed during 1990. 

The back side is unwritten.
