As part of the theme weekend “Transform!”, we cordially invite you to our moderated discussion format, in which we focus on the human micro- and macrocosm of the reunification of the two German states.
Together with our ten guests, we will reminisce and reflect on the different levels of this turbulent time and the years of reorientation that followed in pointed discussions with two or three people. They report from a wide variety of perspectives, from their private and professional environment to the consideration of changes in society as a whole. As different as their experiences and approaches may be, they all have one thing in common: sooner or later they had to deal with the Palace of the Republic. They visited it in the GDR, experienced its closure and decay, followed the debate about the use of this place and helped to define it or participated in its interim artistic use.
Come along and be curious to hear what circumstances our interviewees talk about, what advantages and downsides emerged, what they thought about the Schlossplatz debate and how they look back on this time today.
On Thursday, 3.10.2024, you will find us between 3 and 5 pm in the Mechanical Arena in the foyer of the Humboldt Forum.
