It was in 1985 that Protestant pastor Christian Führer put a simple sign outside his church, St Nikolai’s, in the industrial city of Leipzig in East Germany.

"Open to All," it said.

Little did he know that his church would grow into a focal point for the opposition.

Out of St Nikolai's came a movement which eventually helped bring down the Berlin Wall and the Communist regime.

20 years on, Kristine Pommert meets Christian Führer and other witnesses to find out whether without the church, the peaceful revolution would have been possible.

She also explores whether in a city where fewer than 1 in 5 people are church members, Christianity still has a role to play.
