The Pan-European Picnic was a peace demonstration held on the Austrian-Hungarian border

near the town of Sopron on 19 August 1989. It was an important event during the
Revolutions of 1989 that led to the fall of the Iron Curtain and the reunification of
Germany. It was organised by the Paneuropean Union and the Hungarian opposition
Hungarian Democratic Forum under the protection of Otto von Habsburg and Imre
Pozsgay.
