The Pan-European Picnic was a peace demonstration by Hungarian opposition figures on the Austro-Hungarian border near the town of Sopron (Ödenburg) on August 19, 1989. In the culture of remembrance, it was subsequently stylized as a milestone in those events that led to the end of the GDR, German reunification and the breaking up of the Eastern Bloc, [wikipedia]

The park commemorates the Pan-European Picnic – a peace demonstration organised by a citizens' initiative on 19 August 1989 – and stands for a united Europe.

This is exactly where a picnic took place on August 19, 1989, at which a few hundred GDR citizens used the symbolically opened border gate to flee. The fall of the “Iron Curtain” was inevitable.
