Wittenberge and Veritas

Irish Times Berlin correspondent Derek Scally begins a series today on the former German Democratic Republic.

He begins his travels in Wittenberge, which is in Brandenburg.

After the war the Singer factory in the town was nationalised by the State and renamed 'Veritas'.

On November 9 1989, 25 years ago this year, the Berlin Wall fell. More accurately 'was felled' by peaceful demonstrators.
