salvaging scraps in a bombed-out post-World War II city The US "Raisin Bombers" dropping food into the starving West Berlin during the Berlin Airlift The soccer Miracle of Bern 1954, widely considered as a watershed moment for West Germany The building of the Berlin Wall, families crying as they were divided, the East German soldier Conrad Schumann jumping over barbed wire to defect into West Berlin (a timeless still image that captured the desperation of German Cold War division) The German Wirtschaftswunder, with new housings, cars and a new level of luxury The Oil Crisis The Fall of the Berlin Wall The rebuilt Reichstag in central Berlin The video is a mix of new footage, and original footage where Heppner has been inserted by chroma key. Paul van Dyk appears only twice, fleetingly on both occasions, initially reading a newspaper, and later listening to the radio in a Pilstube (bar). Reception The song reached the German Top 10 and was received very favourably. Germans were touched by the hauntingly beautiful atmosphere of the song and the powerful images in the video. It left such a deep impact that Matthias Platzeck asked Heppner and Van Dyk to perform Wir sind wir in the official 2005 German national holiday festivities .
