35 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, East Germany moped making a come-back

Back in the days of East Germany, many people got around on mopeds made by a manufacturer called Simson. After the fall of the Berlin Wall 35 years ago, Simsons went out of fashion.

Report by Anne Mailliet, Willy Mahler, Marie Pannetrat and Caroline du Bled.
