World leaders are due to join thousands of people to mark 20 years since the Berlin Wall's fall, an event that paved the way for the end of the Cold War.
The main celebrations in the city will be at the Brandenburg Gate - the symbol of German reunification in 1990.
Giant dominoes will be toppled to show how Communist governments in Eastern Europe fell one after another in 1989.
Communist East Germany erected the 155km (96-mile) concrete Wall in 1961 to encircle West Berlin.
It was put up to prevent East Germans from fleeing into the capitalist enclave.
More than 100 people are believed to have been killed at the Wall while trying to escape.
The barrier was unexpectedly opened on 9 November 1989, following weeks of pro-democracy protests.
Meanwhile, Guenter Schabowski - the former East German official whose casual public comments are widely thought to have led to the fall of the Wall - has admitted that there was a breakdown in communication with his party boss Egon Krenz about an announcement of new travel regulations for East Germans.
He told the BBC that he did not regret his so-called blunder because it led to the divided Germany being reunited peacefully. - bbc news
