Reagan got credit for supposedly ending the Cold War, but he actually had little to do with it, and his speech had nothing to do with the wall coming down when it did. East German leaders, in an attempt to calm recent protests, had decided on some minor changes that would loosen border restrictions a little, but the spokesman announcing them screwed up and made it sound like the new policies were immediately in effect, so thousands started converging on the wall. The vastly outnumbered guards got no answers when they asked what they should do so they opened the gate and the rest in history.
when the speech in Berlin was done(the one you mean),the wall was already broken in hungary months before…which was the actual “tearing down the wall” event.

all of which had absolutly nothing to do with Reagan,but very much with the “weak” Gorbatschow
