When did the countries of East Germany and West Germany officially reunite to form present day Germany?
The German reunification (German: Deutsche Wiedervereinigung) was the process in 1990 in which the German Democratic Republic (GDR/East Germany) joined the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG/West Germany) to form the reunited nation of Germany, and when Berlin reunited into a single city, as provided by its then Grundgesetz constitution Article 23. The end of the unification process is officially referred to as German unity (German: Deutsche Einheit), celebrated on October 3 (German Unity Day) (German: Tag der deutschen Einheit).

Louis Michael Durocher,, yes the wall came down in '89, but complete unification where East and West became one was 1990.

I also chose when the wall came down. But I guess it took a while for the paperwork to get done.

Three years after the Berlin Wall came down. The final unification of Germany was signed on October 3, 1990.

The wall came down in 89 , one would believe that would have reunified Germany ...

1990. The World Cup was won that year by... West Germany. Reunification happened later that year.
