Coca-Cola and Berlin have long enjoyed a special relationship. Perhaps it began in 1961, with Billy Wilder’s hit comedy, One, Two, Three. Shot at the Berlin-based Coca-Cola bottler in Lichterfelde, the film told the story of a senior-ranking Coke executive based in West Berlin.
When the wall came down in 1989, signaling an end to nearly 30 years of division,Coca-Cola provided another memorable image. Among the millions of pictures taken in those historic days, a group of men throwing cartons of Coca-Cola bottles over the wall -- a small distance for them, but a huge one for Coca-Cola.
