A birthday congratulations in the daily mirror-“Checkpoint” has triggered a bitter feud between two former “image”-correspondent: Both claim, at 9. To November 1989 the Berlin wall knocked down.
the trigger was the following person in the Checkpoint-section “Berlin society” from the 17. January, the had sent us a CP reader: “Hennes Schulz (65), Lions club Past District Governor, a native of Spandauer and a German Journalist, 30 years ago, in the famous Schabowski press conference on September 9. November 1989 raised the question of the opening of the wall, is going to retire.“
As the first Ewald, king of the “Austria press Agency reported that” with the right note that it was the Italian correspondent Ricardo Ehrmann, who asked the first question on the new travel regime. But who asked, what time is the (answer, Schabowski: “It occurs to the best of my knowledge… immediately, without delay”), and who asked for the scheme to Berlin, so after the wall?
king is sure to Both of these questions, the then-Reporter Peter Brinkmann (today, presenter at TV Berlin), Schulz was transferred “in many other cases of the lie”. Brinkmann writes: “Mr Schulz has made neither this nor any other question.” But then who is? “The question I was,” says Brinkmann – he refers to “any sound recording and TV”, as well as the standard work on the fall of the Berlin wall, Hans-Hermann Hertle (12. Edition, Page 279).

And what Hennes Schulz, then leader of the “image”-Federal editorial says? He writes: The question of when the law comes into force, I asked Erdmann, and then he would Schulz have asked yourself: “Is this also for West Berlin?” Answer Schabowski: “Yes, Yes, for the FRG and West Berlin”. And what was with Peter Brinkmann? “Sitting only.” Later, Brinkmann have made the experience “of its history”, previously had been reports of him as “freely invented”. Schulz refers to the “image and sound documents in the archives of the rbb”, as well as the former SFB-Reporter Erhard Thomas (later Brandenburg government spokesman).
one thing is clear: The wall is gone – I just checked it again.
