And even if you aren't taking one of these drugs, it's still wise to consult with your doctor if you often cramp up at night. In most cases, leg cramps are harmless. But they can signal an underlying medical problem, especially if you also have muscle weakness, swelling, or numbness or pain that just won't go away.
The Berlin Wall Goes Up. There had been rumors that something might happen to tighten the border of East and West Berlin, but no one was expecting the speed nor the absoluteness of the Wall. Just past midnight on the night of August 12-13, 1961, trucks with soldiers and construction workers rumbled through East Berlin.
Introduction. On August 13, 1961, the Communist government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) began to build a barbed wire and concrete âAntifascistischer Schutzwall,â or âantifascist bulwark,â between East and West Berlin.oon the wall was gone and Berlin was united for the first time since 1945. âOnly today,â one Berliner spray-painted on a piece of the wall, âis the war really over.â. The reunification of East and West Germany was made official on October 3, 1990, almost one year after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
