In 1982, Stanisław Lem went to West Berlin on a research fellowship, but his wife and son could not leave with him because they did not yet have passports. Once their documents were ready, they joined him in 1983 and moved through West Berlin to Vienna. The family returned to Poland in autumn 1988, so the Vienna period lasted about five years.
