  • The Victims at the Berlin Wall, 1961-1989 by Hans-Hermann Hertle/Maria Nooke August 2011
    Special CWIHP Research Report The Victims at the Berlin Wall, 1961-1989 By Hans-Hermann Hertle/Maria Nooke August 2011 Forty-four years after the Berlin Wall was built and 15 years after the East German archives were opened, reliable data on the number of people killed at the Wall were still lacking. Depending on the sources, purpose, and date of the studies, the figures varied between 78 (Central Registry of State Judicial Administrations in Salzgitter), 86 (Berlin Public Prosecution Service), 92 (Berlin Police President), 122 (Central Investigation Office for Government and Unification Criminality), and more than 200 deaths (Working Group 13 August). The names of many of the victims, their biographies and the circumstances in which they died were widely unknown.1 This special CWIHP report summarizes the findings of a research project by the Center for Research on Contemporary History Potsdam and the Berlin Wall Memorial Site and Documentation Center which sought to establish the number and identities of the individuals who died at the Berlin Wall between 1961 and 1989 and to document their lives and deaths through historical and biographical research.2 Definition In order to provide reliable figures, the project had to begin by developing clear criteria and a definition of what individuals are to be considered victims at the Berlin Wall. We regard the “provable causal and spatial connection of a death with an attempted escape or a direct or indirect cause or lack of action by the ‘border organs’ in the border territory” as the critical factor. In simpler terms: the criteria are either an attempted escape or a temporal and spatial link between the death and the border regime.

    I Research Text Summer in Berlin Summer in Berlin means more summer! Berlin, June 2017 Summer in Berlin is always special. Because Berlin has a lot of summer to offer every year. With the first warm days, the capital kicks off its festival summer, classical summer, theatre summer, culinary summer, and summer at the lakes. Berlin is celebrating summer in the green with an extra highlight as it hosts the IGA International Garden Exhibition for the first time this year. In short, Berlin has the perfect summer for everyone, whether dancing in the streets at festivals, picnicking in the city's parks and gardens, strolls along the water's edge on the Spree or any of the city's dozens of lakes, taking in a bit of culture on outdoor stages, indulging in culinary treats and street food fare, or partying through the night in the city's beach bars and clubs. The main thing for everyone is heading outside to enjoy summer in Berlin. sommer.visitBerlin.de Berlin's Summer of Festivals With the first rays of sunshine, Berlin literally dances its way into a summer season full of celebration. Every year, on the 1st of May, the Myfest takes place in Berlin's Kreuzberg district, followed by the annual Carnival of Cultures over Pentecost/Whitsun weekend (2017: 2–5 June) that brings in more than a million people to the city. The carnival parade on Sunday is a true celebration of Berlin's cultural diversity with spectacular costumes and rhythmic dances worn by people representing more than 80 nations around the world.

  • Work Begins on the New Rainforest House
    Berlin, 29 May 2018 Press release Work begins on the new Rainforest House Malayan sun bears and tree-kangaroos will move into renovated Alfred Brehm building For several weeks, construction fences by the Alfred Brehm building have been hinting at the start of a large-scale project at the Tierpark. The first old tiger cages have already been torn down, and now machinery stands ready to remove the railings from the former lion enclosure. On 29 May, together with architects from the firms dan pearlman and SKP, Zoo and Tierpark Director Dr Andreas Knieriem gave the official go-ahead for construction to commence. The long-awaited overhaul of the listed Alfred Brehm building is the largest renovation project carried out at the Tierpark in decades. The building, which was erected in 1963, is well past its prime and is therefore undergoing an extensive makeover to transform it into a modern Rainforest House. Once the project is finished, the building will house threatened species from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. The Tierpark’s king cobra and the two Sumatran tigers Harfan and Mayang will be among the Rainforest House inhabitants, raising awareness for their endangered fellows in the wild. The renovation will provide decidedly better living conditions for Malayan sun bears Tina and Johannes. They have been living in an enclosure of just 180 m2 by the entrance next to Schloss Friedrichsfelde manor house, but once the Alfred Brehm building is ready, they will move into a spacious habitat of almost 1,000 m2, complete with climbing trees. “The Malayan bears’ situation represents just how urgently this renovation is needed,” says Zoo and Tierpark Director Dr Andreas Knieriem.

Their encouragement, critical reading, and honest talks in the inevitable times of doubt helped me to complete this project. I would like to thank my committee, Pascale Bos, Janet Swaffar, and David Crew, for serving as readers of the dissertation.

    Crossing Past and Present: Ost-Ampelmännchen and the Memory of the German Democratic Republic By: Kyle Massia A thesis submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. April, 2014, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright by Kyle Massia, 2014 Dr. Kirrily Freeman Associate Professor Dr. Nicole Neatby Associate Professor Dr. John Munro Assistant Professor Dr. John Bingham Assistant Professor Date: 22 April 2014 1 Abstract Crossing Past and Present: Ost-Ampelmännchen and the Memory of the German Democratic Republic By Kyle Massia, 22 April 2014 Abstract: Despite his connection to daily life in East Germany; east Germans began replacing their chubby, hat-wearing pedestrian light figure (the Ost-Ampelmännchen, or Ampelmann) with the non-descript West German one in the euphoria of reunification. By the mid-1990s, however, east Germans began to see their old state differently, bringing back their Ampelmann as a reminder of the safety, security, and equality their old state possessed. Following his resurrection, Ampelmann transformed into a pop-culture icon as shops sprung up selling Ampelmann-branded products. From here, his popularity spread as Ampelmann lights appeared in western Germany and Ampelmann shops opened their doors not only in Berlin, but also in Tokyo and Seoul. East Germans supported this, declaring that his popularity showed that their past and its values could find a place in a globalizing world. In doing so, East Germans have used and rewritten their past to promote a more respectful and equitable alternative to modern life. 2 Introduction: Traffic lights were probably the last thing on the minds of East Germans on 9 November 1989 as the Berlin Wall fell and the borders of their German Democratic Republic (GDR) opened.

Durch Ausgabe neuer Aktien beschaffte er frisches Kapital, um ein modernes Konzept zu verfolgen. Ziel war es weitere Tierarten zu zeigen, Musik- pavillons, Terrassen und ein Restaurant fürs Amüsement zu schaffen und neue, exotisch anmutende Häuser zu errichten. Besucherzahlen und Einnahmen stiegen spürbar. Der Zoo Berlin entwickelte sich nun auch zu einem Ort für die feine Berliner Gesellschaft.

  • Renegotiating History: Representations of the Family in Post-1989 German Literature
    RENEGOTIATING HISTORY: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FAMILY IN POST-1989 GERMAN LITERATURE BY REGINE CRISER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee Associate Professor Anke Pinkert, Chair Professor Peter A. Fritzsche Associate Professor Laurie R. Johnson Professor Carl Niekerk Associate Professor Yasemin Yildiz Abstract Scholars emphasize concepts of trauma and loss to describe literary responses to the collapse of socialism in 1989. In contrast, focusing on literary representations of family, this project reveals productive coping mechanisms developed in German literature after 1989. In artistic representation, family marks the site where the GDR’s dissolution and new post-1989 beginnings are negotiated. I draw on the concepts of agency, memory, and space to show how the historical transformation in 1989 affected existing family structures and how narrative family representations negotiate the historical meaning of 1989. Situated at the intersection of literature, cultural studies, and history, this project shows how family representations constitute a privileged site of post-socialist renewals. ii Für meine Eltern, Ingrid und Peter Kroh, deren Leitspruch “Die Familie ist immer das Wichtigste.” sich sowohl während als auch in dieser Arbeit bewahrheitet hat. iii Acknowledgements I am fortunate to have been supported by many people and institutions working on this study. I want to thank the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures as well as the School of Literatures, Cultures & Linguistics at the University of Illinois and the Max Kade Foundation for providing generous founding over the past years, which has allowed me to focus exclusively on my research and writing for an extended period of time.
