Legal Tender Introduction Eros and Exchange At the end of Leander Haußmann’s 1999 fi lm, Sonnenallee, a light romantic comedy set in East Germany in the 1970s, the camera pulls back through the open border to the West, and the color fades to black and white. On the sound track, Nina Hagen sings: “Du hast den Farbfi lm vergessen, mein Michael” (You forgot the color fi lm, my Michael). In suddenly—and polemically—remembering to forget its own “color fi lm,” Sonnenallee anticipates and satirizes the reactions of a Western audience. As in the scene where the hero and his best friend sarcastically pantomime “oppression” for a West German tour bus, Sonnenallee here assumes it knows what is expected of it, and adjusts accordingly. As Christiane Kuehl re- marks in a review of the fi lm for Berlin’s Tageszeitung, Whoever came back from there [the GDR] reported one thing above all, and it was the same thing that dominated every report made by curious newly united Germans after ’89: that it was damned gray over there. The GDR was gray. Gray walls, gray streets, gray air, ashen faces. Always the same sentence, sometimes an additional one: over there you felt like you were driving through a black-and-white movie from the ’50s. With mock astonishment, Kuehl describes the overturning of this image in Son- nenallee: “Leander Haußmann made a color fi lm. About the GDR. The GDR gleams.” 2 Legal Tender As many of its reviewers were quick to point out, Sonnenallee’s colors were ren- dered particularly bright by the lens of Ostalgie, or “nostalgia for the former East Germany.” In the words of a review of Sonnenallee in Der Spiegel, Nostalgia is shorthand for “how lovely it was back then,” and Ostalgia for “we really had it good in the GDR,” even if, yeah, yeah, under further consideration a few things were not so nice back then. Ten years after the fall of the Wall, former East Germans (Ossis) remember above all the pleasant things. Sadness sinks into the depths of memory, details blur. (Wellershoff) Reveling in its gleeful forgetfulness, Sonnenallee caused a minor scandal—even be- fore its release. In their review of Haußmann’s fi lm, Kerstin and Gunnar Decker make note of some of this negative press: The fi lm wasn’t even in cinemas yet, and already it met with antipathy. A Berlin city magazine worked itself up to the absurd and intentionally malicious opinion that Sonnenallee reminded one of “Nazi comedies” and of the “West German school- room- and barracks-comedies of the ’50s and ’60s.” Overall assessment: “a lack of po- litical instinct.” (277) In January 2000 the organization HELP, which advocates for the victims of po- litical persecution, sued Haußmann on the basis of Germany’s Paragraph 194, which forbids the insulting of victims of state persecution. HELP objected to Haußmann’s creation of a GDR where people “dance in front of the murderous Wall—but not after the fall of the Wall, but rather at a time when this wall was a bloody everyday reality.” Even worse, in the fi lm an “escapee who has been shot down” cries, “but not because of the attempted murder, not because of the pain, not on account of fear in the face of upcoming Stasi-imprisonment, but rather be- cause the bullets shattered his Rolling Stones records” (“Strafanzeige gegen Film Sonnenallee”).1 As if anticipating such negative reactions, Sonnenallee unloads its most biting satire on the tourists who peer over the Wall from a platform on the Western side. For these caricatured “Wessis,” the existence of joy or pleasure on the other side of the Wall is unthinkable: “We’re doing great,” one sneers down at Michael, the fi lm’s hero, near the beginning of the fi lm. “And you?” The others laugh. In an- other scene the tourists watch Michael dancing on an outdoor ping-pong table. “Hey, a happy commie!” scoffs one of the spectators. Thus, as much as Sonnenallee represents an exercise in nostalgic re-membering for the citizens of the former 1. All translations of German texts are mine unless otherwise indicated. Actually, Wuschel is not trying to escape when he gets shot down; he is running to avoid confi scation of his newly bought copy of Exile on Main Street.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries.
