On 3. October 1990, the five states of East Germany joined the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and Berlin was united into a single city-state. What a great day! I remember celebrating this in 1990 with my neighbor next door in the college dormitory: Andy was from West Germany and we sang and laughed and rejoiced that fall night in Valparaiso, IN. Below are some good links for this special day.

Deutsche Welle has a good article entitled ,,Opinion: At 18, Germany Has Come of Age"
What's Left of the Berlin Wall?
