About event
The fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification were global political events - they were emotional and biographical turning points for millions of people, characterized by hope, frustration and freedom.
We talk to three guests from different generations about how they experienced these drastic upheavals and focus primarily on the present and the future. Today, the memory of the period after the Peaceful Revolution is more contested than ever: What open wounds did the transition to democracy and a market economy leave behind and how is politics made today with the emotions of that time? How do those born after 1990 view reunification? How can divisions be bridged and resignation and mistrust overcome? How do experiences from back then continue and what can a shared future perspective look like?
Discussing:
Hendrik Bolz
born 1988 in Leipzig, author, podcast host and second half of the band Immigrated Masculine
Eckardt Rehberg
born 1954 in Ribnitz-Damgarten, former member of the German Bundestag and the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Linda Teuteberg
born 1980 in Königs Wusterhausen, deputy chairwoman of Against Forgetting for Democracy e.V. and former member of the German Bundestag
Moderation: Margarethe Neubauer, journalist and author
In cooperation with the Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl Foundation
