\n\u00cen acel moment, Merkel, care a crescut \u00een fosta Republic\u0103 Democratic\u0103 German\u0103 (RDG), era fizician la Academia de \u015etiin\u0163e din Berlinul de Est. \u00cen v\u00e2rst\u0103 de 35 de ani \u015fi divor\u0163at\u0103 de primul so\u0163, ea locuia \u00eentr-un apartament cu dou\u0103 camere \u015fi o buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u00een cartierul Prenzlauer Berg de azi.<\/p>\n

Tocmai auzise c\u0103 est-germanii sunt liberi s\u0103 c\u0103l\u0103toreasc\u0103. Zidul era pe cale s\u0103 fie demolat, dar, \u00een acele c\u00e2teva ore de confuzie, nimeni nu credea. “Nu am \u00een\u0163eles cu adev\u0103rat ceea ce se spunea”, a recunoscut conduc\u0103toarea conservatoare.<\/p>\n
\n“O glum\u0103” se spunea, la acel moment, \u00een familia ei. Dac\u0103 Zidul va fi demolat \u00eentr-o bun\u0103 zi, Angela Merkel o va duce pe mama ei s\u0103 “m\u0103n\u00e2nce stridii la Kempinski”, un hotel de lux din Berlinul de Vest.

\n“Eram singur\u0103, dar am urmat mul\u0163imea (…) \u015fi, dintr-o dat\u0103, ne-am trezit \u00een partea de vest a Berlinului”. Anonima Angela Merkel, care c\u0103l\u0103torise deja \u00een vest, bea prima bere vest-german\u0103 \u00eentr-un apartament pe ai c\u0103rui proprietari nu-i cunoa\u015fte. “\u00cemi amintesc c\u0103 era o bere la canet\u0103 \u015fi nu eram obi\u015fnuit\u0103”.<\/strong><\/p>\n \nDup\u0103 c\u0103derea Zidului, Angela Merkel va renun\u0163a rapid la fizic\u0103 \u015fi-\u015fi va \u00eencepe cariera politic\u0103.
