1
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:35,880
thank you

2
00:00:35,890 --> 00:00:40,710
Thank you very much Chancellor Kohl,

3
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,220
governing mayor, deacon, ladies and

4
00:00:43,220 --> 00:00:47,290
gentlemen. 24 years ago President John F.

5
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:51,070
Kennedy visited Berlin, speaking to the

6
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,950
people of this city and the world at the

7
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,070
city hall. Since then two other

8
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,260
presidents have come, each in his turn, to

9
00:00:59,270 --> 00:01:02,860
Berlin. Today, I myself make my second

10
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:11,230
visit to your city. We come to Berlin,

11
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,420
we American presidents, because it's our

12
00:01:13,430 --> 00:01:16,980
duty to speak in this place of freedom,

13
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:20,830
but, I must confess, we're drawn here by

14
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,360
other things as well:

15
00:01:22,370 --> 00:01:25,140
by the feeling of history in this city,

16
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:28,870
more than 500 years older than our own

17
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,960
nation; by the beauty of the Grunewald

18
00:01:31,970 --> 00:01:35,800
and the tear garden; most of all, by your

19
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:42,390
courage and determination.

20
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,130
Perhaps the composer Paul Lincke

21
00:01:45,140 --> 00:01:47,020
understood something about American

22
00:01:47,030 --> 00:01:49,750
presidents -- you see, like so many

23
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,780
presidents before me, I come here today

24
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:58,660
because wherever I go, whatever I do, Ich

25
00:01:58,670 --> 00:02:10,060
hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin.

26
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:13,190
Our gathering today is being broadcast

27
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,840
throughout Western Europe and North

28
00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:18,620
America I understand that it is being

29
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:23,090
seen and heard as well in the East to

30
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,040
those listening throughout Eastern

31
00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:28,400
Europe I extend my warmest greetings and

32
00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:31,580
the goodwill of the American people to

33
00:02:31,590 --> 00:02:34,310
those listening in East Berlin a special

34
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,620
word although I cannot be with you I

35
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:41,810
address my remarks to you just as surely

36
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:45,530
as to those standing here before me for

37
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:47,990
I join you as I join your fellow

38
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,330
countrymen in the West in this firm

39
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:54,440
this unalterable belief: Es gibt nur

40
00:02:54,450 --> 00:03:05,130
ein Berlin.

41
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:08,680
Behind me stands a wall that encircles

42
00:03:08,690 --> 00:03:12,100
the free sectors of this city part of a

43
00:03:12,110 --> 00:03:15,400
vast system of barriers that divides the

44
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:18,220
entire continent of Europe from the

45
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:21,610
Baltic South those barriers cut across

46
00:03:21,620 --> 00:03:24,180
Germany in a gash of barbed wire,

47
00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:28,110
concrete, dog runs and guard towers.

48
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,810
Farther south there may be no visible, no

49
00:03:31,820 --> 00:03:35,020
obvious wall but there remain armed guards

50
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:38,229
and checkpoints all the same still a

51
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:41,560
restriction on the right to travel still

52
00:03:41,570 --> 00:03:44,620
an instrument to impose upon ordinary

53
00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:47,920
men and women the will of a totalitarian

54
00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:52,750
state yet it is here in Berlin where the

55
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,050
wall emerges most clearly here cutting

56
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,050
across your city where the news photo on

57
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:01,510
the television screen have imprinted

58
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,330
this brutal division of a continent upon

59
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:08,080
the mind of the world standing before

60
00:04:08,090 --> 00:04:11,380
the Brandenburg Gate every man is a

61
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:23,850
German separated from his fellow men.

62
00:04:23,860 --> 00:04:27,250
Every man is a Berliner forced to look

63
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:31,870
upon a scar. President von Weizsäcker has

64
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,930
said the German question is open as long

65
00:04:34,940 --> 00:04:47,160
as the Brandenburg gate is closed today

66
00:04:47,170 --> 00:04:50,680
the day I say as long as this gate is

67
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:54,130
closed as long as this scar of a wall is

68
00:04:54,140 --> 00:04:57,850
permitted to stand it is not the German

69
00:04:57,860 --> 00:05:00,970
question alone that remains open but the

70
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:15,250
question of freedom for all mankind yet

71
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:19,630
I do not come here to lament what I find

72
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,290
in Berlin a message of hope even in the

73
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:26,400
shadow of this wall a message of triumph

74
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:31,210
in this season of spring in 1945 the

75
00:05:31,220 --> 00:05:32,890
people of Berlin emerged from their

76
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:35,940
air-raid shelters to find devastation

77
00:05:35,950 --> 00:05:38,540
thousands of miles away the people of

78
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:40,460
the United States reached out to help

79
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:45,159
and in 1947 Secretary of State as you've
the United States reached out to help

80
00:05:45,169 --> 00:05:47,770
been told George Marshall announced the

81
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:49,820
