This reconstruction phase lasted well into the 1980s - before the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification kicked off yet another wave of building. From an architectural and urban-planning point of view, Germany's phoenix-like resurrection from the inferno resembled a continuation of the wartime destruction by other means: Another 30 percent of the country's historic buildings were simply wiped off the map to make way for the new. In West Germany alone, some 400 million cubic meters (14 billion cubic feet) of rubble was piled up after the war - enough to build a wall two meters thick and seven meters high all the way around the western half of the divided country.
