Today is Tag der Deutschen Einheit in Germany, the national holiday in honour of German reunification.
It's also the day we celebrate David Hasselhoff single-handedly bringing down the Berlin Wall by singing "Looking for Freedom" atop a cherry picker.

On this day in 1887, German actress Lil Dagover was born! She was one of the most popular and recognized film actresses in the Weimar Republic, starring in films such as Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920) and Der müde Tod (1921). She continued to act during the Nazi period.

On this day in 1924, Carl Theodor Dreyer's Michael premiered in Berlin! Starring Walter Slezak as the titular Michael, the young assistant and model to the artist Claude Zoret (Benjamin Christensen). Michael is widely considered a landmark in gay silent cinema.
