This is a memorial site, an open-air museum. The Pan-European Picnic at the Austrian-Hungarian border, held on August 19, 1989, was a peace demonstration that was an important antecedent of the fall of the Iron Curtain and the European Union's eastern enlargement.
The Pan-European Picnic was a peace demonstration held on the Austro-Hungarian border near Sopron, Hungary, on 19 August 1989. The opening of the border gate between Austria and Hungary at the Pan-European Picnic was an event in the chain reaction, at the end of which Germany reunified, the Iron Curtain fell apart, and the Eastern Bloc disintegrated. The communist governments and the Warsaw Pact subsequently dissolved, ending the Cold War.
