===David Hasselhoff, 1989===
On 31 December 1989, American TV actor and pop-music singer [[David Hasselhoff]] was the headlining performer for the Freedom Tour Live concert, which was attended by over 500,000 people on both sides of the Wall. The live concert footage was directed by music-video director [[Thomas Mignone]] and aired on broadcast television station Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen [[ZDF]] throughout Europe. During shooting, film crew personnel pulled people up from both sides to stand and celebrate on top of the wall. Hasselhoff sang his number-one-hit song "Looking for Freedom" on a platform at the end of a twenty-meter steel crane that swung above and over the Wall adjacent to the [[Brandenburg Gate]].<ref name="NPR20141109">{{cite web |title=How Mr. Hasselhoff Tore Down This Wall |url=https://www.npr.org/2014/11/09/362595983/how-mr-hasselhoff-tore-down-this-wall |work=NPR |publisher=National Public Radio |access-date=9 November 2014 |date=9 November 2014 |archive-date=9 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141109164818/http://www.npr.org/2014/11/09/362595983/how-mr-hasselhoff-tore-down-this-wall |url-status=live }}</ref> A [[David Hasselhoff Museum|small museum]] was created in 2008 to celebrate Hasselhoff in the basement of the Circus Hostel.<ref>{{cite web |title=A Guide to the Weird and Wacky in Berlin |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/arts/a-guide-to-the-weird-and-wacky-in-berlin.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191109155736/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/arts/a-guide-to-the-weird-and-wacky-in-berlin.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=9 November 2019 |access-date=1 March 2022}}</ref>
