Event series summer semester 2024: Transformation East
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of the old and new federal states are considered to be decisive events for the Federal Republic of Germany and have given rise to a multitude of areas of tension that are still relevant today. From right-wing extremism to populism, from the liquidation of East German companies to the current development of cutting-edge research, from the marginalization experiences of the citizens to their designation as avant-garde - the lecture series illuminates a broad spectrum of narratives that define the specific characteristics of these regions. It becomes clear that even thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, no uniform picture can be drawn. Continuing inequalities in wages and property ownership as well as the low level of representation in politics, the judiciary and academia require further examination and discussion. The lecture series offers a unique insight into the diverse and still current research on this topic. Experts from TU Dresden as well as renowned scientists from various collaborations will present and discuss their findings. We cordially invite you to an exciting exchange about the past, present and future of German unity.
