because in 1989 the wall was taken down, from the result of lengthy negotiations.

96% ??? where would they come from?
first of all, you make a big mistake right in the beginning: it is not the federal republik (west germany) who built the wall. it was the east!!! and this is a pretty important fact... the history about the cities is not too bad, but you could have paid more attention to the small details. concerning luther: he did not influence the german language as much as you are stressing in your paper. he is rather important for the developement of the protestant church... and dont tell me i would not no what i am talking about. believe me, i do. i am german...
