      To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of Berlin Wall, US singer and actor David Hasselhoff oversaw a group of trabants honking his biggest hit 'Looking for Freedom' in Berlin on Saturday.

      "Thirty years ago these 'trabbies' were all in prison. And now they're free. Isn't that amazing? Thirty years looking for freedom,” said the popstar referring to the Trabants, a series of cars built in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) before the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989.

      On New Year's Eve in 1989, Hasselhoff made a memorable performance of his songs ‘Looking for Freedom’ at the Brandenburg Gate. The track was at the top of the German hit parade for eight weeks.
