Answer: Berliners celebrated the lifting of travel restrictions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Authoritative figures such as the silver haired, avuncular ARD anchorman Hanns-Joachim Friedrichs – who declared, at around 10.40pm: “This 9th of November is a historic day. The GDR has announced that its borders are, starting immediately, open for everyone.” There were already crowds at some border crossings, but this West German news – which completely overwhelmed East German state television warnings that “journeys must be applied for!” – was what brought ever larger streams of East Berliners pouring towards the concrete barrier that had imprisoned them since 1961.

Hope This Helps!
