Through our web site, Falling Walls will not collect any personal data about you (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you voluntarily choose to provide it (e.g. through registration) or unless you offer your consent or it is otherwise permitted under applicable personal data protection laws and regulations.
For more details about this please refer to the German chapter on data protection (Datenschutz) included in this website, which also offers you a unique opportunity to enjoy the legal prose of a language that always finds a word that is longer than the thought it wishes to express.
Last but not least, before you go we would like to give you a change to practise your German skills. Please translate the following German text (note: VPKAe are Volkspolizeikreisaemter): "Privatreisen nach dem Ausland koennen ohne Vorliegen von Voraussetzungen - Reiseanlaesse und Verwandtschaftsverhaeltnisse - beantragt werden. Die Genehmigungen werden kurzfristig erteilt.Die zustaendigen Abteilungen Pass- und Meldewesen der VPKAe in der DDR sind angewiesen, Visa zur staendigen Ausreise unverzueglich zu erteilen, ohne dass dabei noch geltende Voraussetzungen fuer eine staendige Ausreise vorliegen muessen."
The proper translation: The Wall is fallen.
