  • MUSLIMS in BERLIN Muslims in Berlin
    berlin-borito-10gerinc-uj:Layout 1 4/14/2010 5:39 PM Page 1 AT HOME IN EUROPE ★ MUSLIMS IN BERLIN Muslims in Berlin Whether citizens or migrants, native born or newly-arrived, Muslims are a growing and varied population that presents Europe with challenges and opportunities. The crucial tests facing Europe’s commitment to open society will be how it treats minorities such as Muslims and ensures equal rights for all in a climate of rapidly expanding diversity. The Open Society Institute’s At Home in Europe project is working to address these issues through monitoring and advocacy activities that examine the position of Muslims and other minorities in Europe. One of the project’s key efforts is this series of reports on Muslim communities in the 11 EU cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Berlin, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Leicester, London, Marseille, Paris, Rotterdam, and Stockholm. The reports aim to increase understanding of the needs and aspirations of diverse Muslim communities by examining how public policies in selected cities have helped or hindered the political, social, and economic participation of Muslims. By fostering new dialogue and policy initiatives between Muslim communities, local officials, and international policymakers, the At Home in Europe project seeks to improve the participation and inclusion of Muslims in the wider society while enabling them to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and religious practices that are important to their identities.

  • Tageszeitung (Taz) Article on the Opening of the Berlin Wall
    Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Fall of the Berlin Wall (November 9, 1989) Two journalists from Die Tageszeitung (taz), a left-of-center West Berlin newspaper, describe the excitement generated by the sudden opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. The event was the result of internal pressure applied by East German citizens, and it evoked spontaneous celebration from a people who could once again freely cross the border and rekindle relationships with friends and relatives on the other side. (Please note: the dancing bear mentioned below is a figurative reference to West Berlin's official mascot. Beginning in 1954, the flag of West Berlin featured a red bear set against a white background. In 1990, the bear became the mascot of a unified Berlin. The former West Berlin flag now represents the city as a whole.) "We Want In!" The Bear Is Dancing on the Border Around midnight, RIAS – the American radio station broadcasting to the East – still has no traffic interruptions to report. Yet total chaos already reigns at the border checkpoint on Invalidenstrasse. People parked their cars at all conceivable angles, jumped out, and ran to the border. The transmission tower of the radio station "Free Berlin" is already engulfed by a throng of people (from the West) – waiting for the masses (from the East) to break through. After three seconds, even the most hardened taz editor finds himself applauding the first Trabi he sees. Everyone gets caught up in the frenzy, whether she wants to or not. Even the soberest members of the crowd are applauding, shrieking, gasping, giggling.

From from being a leading now on, coalition-building in Germany will be more uncertain than ever in the history of the party to trailing in the Federal Republic of Germany. On the one hand, pressure will mount within the SPD to pave polls? the way for a new left majority that includes Die Linke on the federal level. On the other hand, Chancellor Angela Merkel and the CDU/CSU, as well as the FDP, will do everything to make the prevention of such a development the central theme for the remainder of the electoral campaign. The specter of a red-red-green coalition in Berlin will now dominate the political discourse until Election Day. Whether this strategy will work is an open question.

  • Dodis.Ch/52958 Netherlands Telegram1 from the Dutch
    dodis.ch/52958 77 15 dodis.ch/52958 Netherlands Telegram1 from the Dutch Ambassador in Bonn, Jan van der Tas2, to the Dutch Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hans van den Broek3 Berlin 9 November 1989 – the Wall Loses its Relevance Extract Confidential Bonn, 14 November 1989 […]4 Report “Ab sofort” was the answer of the SED Politburo member responsible for in- formation, Schabowski5, after the meeting of the Central Committee on the 9th on the question when the arrangement for travel to the Federal Republic and West Berlin that he had just made public would enter into force. A directive that he pre- sumed was already known to the assembled press, but which he himself clearly did not know intimately. The border guards were also unprepared, but confront- ed by the inflowing masses they threw open the gates at the Borholmer Strasse crossing, stepped back and let the flow of people pass by. Shortly afterwards the other border crossings followed including Checkpoint Charlie. The Wall had – in the words of governing mayor Momper6 – lost its relevance. On 9 November 1989, this inhuman and monstrous edifice that was founded on 13 August 1961 fell. The cornered leadership of the collapsing “First State of Workers and Farmers on German Soil”7 had risked the desperate flight forward to stem the bloodlet- ting of “Republikflucht”8 and regain the trust of the population. In Berlin (West) this “Day of Re-Encounter”9 (Momper) led to an emotionally charged cheerfully chaotic exuberant weekend in which nearly two million peo- ple from the Eastern Sector and all parts of the GDR flowed into the city.
