Gallery: Turkish Delight
Germany is home to the largest Turkish community outside of Turkey. Many of these people or their families arrived in the Germany in the 1960s, only a few years after the wall was constructed.
German reunification, which began with the fall of the Berlin wall in November 1989 and officially ended eleven months later, raised dormant questions of German as a single nation, and caused the presence of the Turks to be debated and re-examined. Learning about Berlin’s Turkish population is important in making sense of the twenty years since the wall fell, as well as the time while it was still intact, both politically and physically.
