In 1989, Hungary opened its border with Austria, which allowed East German citizens (who had traveled to Hungary as tourists) to escape to West Germany via Austria. This was a key event leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The other options are incorrect: West Germans did not move to Hungary in this context, Hungarians did not flee to Germany in this scenario, and there was no fighting over Hungarian territory.
