Annual Report As at December 31, 2015 Including the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group Management Report DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG AnnuAl RepoRt 2015 Financial year January 1 – December 31, 2015 2 DeMIRe Deutsche Mittelstand Real estate AG | Annual Report 2015 portrait First in secondary locations DeMIRe Deutsche Mittelstand Real estate AG has commercial real estate holdings in mid-sized cities and upcoming areas bordering metropolitan areas across Germany. the Company has its special strength in these secondary locations – first in secondary locations – and focuses on properties which that are particularly attractive for medium-sized companies. DeMIRe has grown rapidly in recent years as a result of aquisitions of individual properties and company shares alike. At the end of the 2015 fiscal year, DeMIRe’s portfolio contained rental space of 1.1 million sqm with a market value of almost EUR 1 billion. the portfolio’s focus on office, retail and logistic properties results in a risk structure that DeMIRe believes is reasonable for the commercial real estate segment. the Company places importance on long-term contracts with solvent tenants and, therefore, anticipates stable and sustainable rental income. DeMIRe intends to maintain its corporate organisation as lean as possible, although it believes that economies of scale and portfolio optimisation are best achieved by having its own in-house asset, property and facility management. this safeguards the Company’s business expertise and, equally important, allows the Company to maintain direct contact with the customer. the shares of DeMIRe Deutsche Mittelstand Real estate AG are listed on the regulated market (General Standard Segment) of the Frankfurt Stock exchange. 3 DeMIRe at a glance rental reVenue eBit naV 230.7 + 0.5 % 43.3 58.4 58.7 + 344 % + 1,170 % 51.7 3.7 2014 2015 2014 2015 2014 2015 in EUR millions property portFolio Focus on three asset classes 928 1.100 181 72 Retail 19.6 % 150 6.4 5.4 Breakdown according 333 350 33 office 65.0 % to potential rent as at logistics 8.6 % 31.12.2015 others 6.8 % number Market value net rent, WALT Rental space properties (euR million) excl. utilities (Years) (m² thousands) (euR million) 31/12/2014 31/12/2015 Group Key FiGures euRK consolidated income statement 01/01/2015– 01/04/2014– 31/12/2015 31/12/2014 Rental revenue 43,344 3,749 net rental income 23,680 2,290 eBit 58,740 58,434 Financial result -25,728 -2,938 eBt 33,012 55,496 net profit/loss for the period 28,873 45,707 net profit/loss for the period per share (undiluted / diluted, in eur) 1.09 / 0.71 3.03 / 1.74 consolidated Balance sheet 31/12/2015 31/12/2014 total assets 1,032,945 373,012 Investment properties 915,089 333,070 non-current assets held for sale 13,005 0 total portfolio 928,094 333,070 Financial liabilities 655,239 295,665 Cash and cash equivalents 28,467 4,397 net financial liabilities 626,772 291,268 % of total portfolio (LTV) 67,5 87,4 equity according to the consolidated balance sheet 264,902 54,629 equity ratio in % 25.6 14.6 equity attributable to equity holders of the parent company (nAV) 230,697 51,684 epRA nAV (undiluted / diluted) 256,267 / 271,585 60,996 / 71,420 epRA nAV per share (undiluted / diluted, in euR) 5.20 / 4.25 4.26 / 2.84 4 DeMIRe Deutsche Mittelstand Real estate AG | Annual Report 2015 Competitive strengths Focus ■ Clear investment strategy ■ Focus on commercial real estate holdings in secondary locations in Germany ■ Value appreciation through favourable purchase prices combined approach ■ Value-Added strategy with a Core plus approach ■ Stable cash flows generated by Core plus strategy ■ Appreciation potential through Value-Added Value chain ■ Fully integrated real estate group ■ Coverage of the entire value chain from purchase and management to sale, when strategically feasible ■ Group in-house asset, property and facility management Flexibility ■ Flat hierarchies ■ Short and quick decision-making process expertise and commitment ■ Long-standing experience and extensive expertise in the real estate industry ■ Efficient processes capital market ■ Increasing market capitalisation ■ Active in equity and debt capital markets ■ Aimed at long-term oriented dividend policy long-term approach ■ DeMIRe strives for long-term value appreciation of the core portfolio ■ Not interested in temporary profit increases 5 Contents 2 demire AT a Glance 88 CONSOLIDATED Financial 2 portrait STATEMENTS 3 Share and key figures 88 Consolidated statement of income 4 Competitive strengths 89 Statement of comprehensive income 5 Contents 90 Consolidated balance sheet 92 Consolidated statement of cash flows 6 Foreword oF the executiVe Board 93 Consolidated statement of changes in equity 10 report oF the superVisory Board 94 NOTES TO the CONSOLIDATED Financial STATEMENTS 16 First in secondary locations 94 A.

Since the Fair Value acquisition took place shortly before the year’s end, this quantum jump in growth is reflected in our balance sheet but not yet evident in our income statement. At the end of 2015, the sum of the contracted annual net rent, excluding utilities, of DeMIRe’s real estate holdings amounted to EUR 72 million or around eighteen times higher than DeMIRe’s total net rent in 2014. there is no better illustration of the new dimension our company has grown into in 2015. We are now one of the leading listed companies in our industry measured in terms of revenue and portfolio value. naturally, this rise was due in large part to our takeover of Fair Value ReIt-AG, whose former shareholders we would like to welcome at this point as new DeMIRe shareholders. Holders of a total of 77.7 % of the shares accepted our voluntary public takeover offer to exchange one Fair Value share into two DeMIRe shares. these shareholders clearly saw the benefits that we believe accompany the acquisition: similar business models with very different acquisition channels, the potential for economies of scale from the joint management of properties through the Group’s own asset, property and facility management operations and a significantly stronger foundation for further growth. We not only grew rapidly in 2015 but for the first time we also diversified our portfolio through targeted direct investments in new rental segments resulting in the introduction of new asset classes. the acquisition of logistikpark leipzig marked our entry into the logistic property segment, and the acquisition of Gutenberg-Galerie in leipzig our entry into the retail property segment – a step that was substantially reinforced by our takeover of Fair Value ReIt-AG at the end of the year. our purchase of Kurfürsten-Galerie in Kassel represented a further investment in this asset class but had no influence on the 2015 financial statements because it was transferred to us only at the beginning of the current fiscal year. these purchases make us less dependent on the office segment. We are diversifying our risks. A natural consequence of the property portfolio’s tremendous expansion was a few personnel changes. the second-tier management of important areas such as asset, property and facility management as well as real estate acquisition, have been reinforced with seasoned industry and professional experts. the same is true for central functions such as accounting and controlling. In 2015, the number of employees increased from eight to a total of 54. nevertheless, the DeMIRe Group’s corporate structure remains lean.

    Major Cultural Commemorations and the Construction of National Identity in the GDR, 1959-1983 David Joseph Zell A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Modern Languages The University of Birmingham October 2017 1 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Major Cultural Commemorations and the Construction of National Identity in the GDR 1959-1983 Abstract My thesis asks whether cultural commemorations helped the GDR to build a distinct national identity, and examines the role of political and cultural actors involved in them. Covering different strands of German cultural heritage, the aims, implementations and outcomes of anniversary commemorations are investigated as a longitudinal series of case-studies: Schiller (1959); Kollwitz (1967); Beethoven (1970); and Luther (1983). Substantial evidence from largely unpublished sources exposes recurring gaps between the theory and practice of these commemorations, essentially attributable to manifest examples of agency by commemoration stakeholders. Each commemoration produced some positive legacies. But driven mainly by demarcation motives versus West Germany, the appropriation of these German cultural icons as socialist role-models to promote national identity was mostly unsuccessful in three commemorations.

  • A Comparison of German and Korean Division: Analogies and Differences
    126 A Comparison of German and Korean Division International Journal of Korean Unification Studies A Comparison of German and Korean Division: Analogies and Differences Hanns Günther Hilpert Abstract The comparative analysis shows striking similarities in the post-war security situations of Germany and Korea, simultaneously leading to artificial separation and the deep-freezing of the division into cold war confrontation. Once division was established, two different systems and mentalities developed. In the end, both the GDR and the DPRK thoroughly failed economically. But although Korean division has endured until now, the situation in the Korean peninsula still looks very much like the German situation of the 1980s. Once the artificial inner Korean border falls, North-South migration is bound to occur, and the ROK will face similar political and economic challenges as the FRG did in 1990. More revealing than the similarities are the regional and national differences, however, which may explain why unification took place in Germany, but not in Korea. Both the mutual trust built up over nearly 20 years of détente and the FRG’s deep Western multilateral integration were preconditions and facilitators in the process of reunification. The differences also imply that unification will be much more difficult for Korea, since the DPRK is in absolute and relative terms much poorer and larger. Key Words: German-Korean comparison, North Korea, German reunification, German division, Korean division Vol. 19, No. 1, 2010, pp. 126-156. Copyrightⓒ2010 by KINU Hanns Günther Hilpert 127 Introduction On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall came down and the process of German reunification started.

  • Martin Luther in Primetime
    volume 03 issue 02/2012 MARTIN LUTHER IN PRIMETIME TELEVISION FICTION AND CULTURAL MEMORY CONSTRUCTION IN COLD WAR GERMANY Stewart Anderson 2130 JFSB Brigham Young University Provo, UT 84602 USA [email protected] Abstract: In 1983, both East and West Germany celebrated Martin Luther’s 500th birthday with great fanfare. Nowhere was this competition more provocative and visually arresting, however, than in two multi-part television plays which depicted Luther’s life: the West German Martin Luther, broadcast by the public station ZDF in April, and the East German title of the same name, aired in October. In this essay, I argue that the East German version constituted an appropriative strategy of memory formation – one that depicted Luther’s positive qualities and grafted them into the Marxist canon of heroes. In contrast, the ZDF Martin Luther, which featured a highly rational Luther, projected what Jan Assmann has termed a normative strategy of harnessing Luther’s memory, focusing on Luther’s intellectual arguments and anti-radicalism. Keywords: Martin Luther, ZDF, DFF, Cold War, Collective Memory In April 1983, the West German station Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF) broadcast a two-part television play entitled Martin Luther, in honour of the Reformer’s 500th birthday.1 Directed by Rainer Wolffhardt and starring Lambert Hamel, the programme took a sweeping look at Luther’s life, beginning with his decision to become a monk and culminating in his translation of the Bible. In October of the same year, the East German broadcaster Deutscher Fernsehfunk (DFF) aired a five-part dramatic piece, also called Martin Luther.2 Written and directed by Kurt Veth and featuring Ulrich Thein as Luther, this expansive piece had similar ambitions: a comprehensive reenactment of Luther’s life.
