Uwe K.

Uwe K. is the individual who sold the historically significant 'Schabowski-Zettel' to the Haus der Geschichte (House of History) museum in Bonn. The 'Schabowski-Zettel' is the note that Günter Schabowski used during the pivotal press conference that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Uwe K.'s role in the chain of custody of this document has recently become public after years of secrecy and legal battles initiated by the German newspaper 'Bild' to uncover the seller's identity. 'Bild' pursued the information through press inquiries and legal action against the museum. The Haus der Geschichte has now revealed that the document came from Thomas S. to Uwe K., who then sold it to the museum. The revelation of Uwe K.'s involvement is significant because it completes the provenance of a key artifact related to a major historical event.
