    Jewish Identity and German Landscapes in Konrad Wolf's I Was Nineteen

    Religions 2012, 3, 130–150; doi:10.3390/rel3010130 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Homecoming as a National Founding Myth: Jewish Identity and German Landscapes in Konrad Wolf’s I was Nineteen Ofer Ashkenazi History Department, University of Minnesota, 1110 Heller Hall, 271 19th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: 1-651-442-3030 Received: 5 January 2012; in revised form: 13 March 2012 / Accepted: 14 March 2012 / Published: 22 March 2012 Abstract: Konrad Wolf was one of the most enigmatic intellectuals of East Germany. The son of the Jewish Communist playwright Friedrich Wolf and the brother of Markus Wolf— the head of the GDR‘s Foreign Intelligence Agency—Konrad Wolf was exiled in Moscow during the Nazi era and returned to Germany as a Red Army soldier by the end of World War Two. This article examines Wolf‘s 1968 autobiographical film I was Nineteen (Ich war Neunzehn), which narrates the final days of World War II—and the initial formation of postwar reality—from the point of view of an exiled German volunteer in the Soviet Army. In analyzing Wolf‘s portrayals of the German landscape, I argue that he used the audio- visual clichés of Heimat-symbolism in order to undermine the sense of a homogenous and apolitical community commonly associated with this concept. Thrown out of their original contexts, his displaced Heimat images negotiate a sense of a heterogeneous community, which assumes multi-layered identities and highlights the shared ideology rather than the shared origins of the members of the national community.

    1 Atelier Cinéma: Das Kino der DDR – Die DDR im Kino Spur der Steine Frank Beyer (DDR, 1966) Auf der Großbaustelle Schkona sind im Kampf um Planerfüllung und Baumaterial fast alle Mittel recht. Brigadier Balla und seine Männer genießen Narrenfreiheit, da sich ihr unorthodoxer Arbeitsstil als sehr effizient erweist. Als die junge Technologin Kati und der neue Parteisekretär Horrath auf der Baustelle eintreffen, kommt es zu Konflikten und Balla muss Position beziehen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spur der Steine Anette Anders, Marie-Françoise Dubois & Natascha Kühnemund Dezember 2015 2 Im Kampf um die Errichtung des für die Volkswirtschaft immens wichtigen Bauprojekts sind fast alle Mittel recht. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Brigaden steht bei den „Ballas“ die Arbeit im Vordergrund; dafür sieht man ihnen die teilweise anarchistischen Methoden gerne nach. Ansonsten überwiegen in Schkona Schlendrian und Opportunismus. Balla und Horrath sind beide unangepasst und könnten Verbündete sein, geraten aber ins Schussfeld der „Bremser und Blockierer“. Die beiden Kontrahenten verbindet eine Mischung aus Respekt und Rivalität. Erschwerend hinzu kommt der Umstand, dass sich beide Männer in Kati verlieben. Sie geht, was die Baustellenprobleme anbelangt, mit Balla konform, ihre Liebe aber gehört Horrath, von dem sie ein Kind erwartet. Horrath gerät in Schwierigkeiten, denn er hat bereits Frau und Kinder. Nachdem Katis Schwangerschaft unübersehbar geworden ist, eskaliert die Situation. SPUR DER STEINE spielt virtuos mit den Versatzstücken diverser aus dem Genrekino übernommener Konstellationen. Beyer gelingt damit eine überzeugende Fusion von bis dahin bei der DEFA als unpassend eingestuften Stilmitteln. Als Rahmenhandlung dient eine Parteiversammlung, die als modifizierte Gerichtsverhandlung Gelegenheit bietet, Exkurse in die Vergangenheiten der auftretenden Personen zu unternehmen.

    Our Own James Bond_For eyes only 19.06.13 16:36 Seite 1 OUR OWN JAMES BOND DEFA dramaturg Dieter Wolf remembers the production of For Eyes Only — Top Secret, the film that became an East German box office hit in 1963. You worked as a dramaturg on For Eyes Only, which was a project of the Solidarity artistic production group at the East German DEFA Film Studio. Could you please explain the structure of artistic groups within the studio... At the end of 1956, director Kurt Maetzig1 openly declared that “the time was ripe“ for founding artistic groups with more autonomy in script development and production. In the following years, directors, writers and other film artists responded to his call and formed artistic groups that each had its own dramaturg. A DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library There were eight of these groups in 1960; but was only after the Second Bitterfeld Conference in 1964 that centralized dramaturgy was entirely dissolved and chief dramaturgs became the cultural-political heads of the artistic groups. The studio management confirmed this new structural organization on September 1, 1964 and dramaturgs were appointed to be the leaders of the artistic groups: chief dramaturgs Werner Beck, Willi Brückner, Dr. Günter Karl and Willi Paech became the heads of the Berlin, Johannisthal, Roter Kreis and Children’s Films artistic groups, respectively; head dramaturg Klaus Wischnewski took over Heinrich Greif; and I headed Babelsberg. • For Eyes Secret Only • — Top This openness to decentralization ended after the 11th Plenum of the Central Committee of the SED [Socialist Unity Party] in 1965.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

Abstract The following thesis looks at the subject of communist-oriented opposition in the GDR. More specifically, it considers how this phenomenon has been reconstructed in the state-mandated memory landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany since unification in 1990. It does so by presenting three case studies of particular representative value. The first looks at the former member of the Politbüro Paul Merker and how his entanglement in questions surrounding antifascism and antisemitism in the 1950s has become a significant trope in narratives of national (de-)legitimisation since 1990. The second delves into the phenomenon of the dissident through the aperture of prominent singer-songwriter, Wolf Biermann, who was famously exiled in 1976.

Damit bekam das Jahr Symbolcharakter für den Niedergang der SED-Diktatur, da sich auch die protestantischen Kirchen im inneren Aufruhr befanden, nachdem sich am 18.
