Euromaxx also devotes its entire program on 9 November to the anniversary. This special edition focuses on the people who actually experienced the fall of the Wall and their stories.

Arts.21 shines the spotlight on rock legend Udo Lindenberg: In an exhibition at the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts, the musician shows paintings created during these transitional years. Photos and videos also document his activism against the division of Germany over the years, his surveillance by Stasi spies and his irreverent dealings with East German leader Erich Honecker. In the program, Udo Lindenberg talks about divided Germany, the fall of the Wall and the current situation – 30 years on. Photo: Tessa Livesey

An OECD study shows that by international standards, a significantly higher number of migrants work in Germany’s low-wage sector. Children born into poorly-educat- ed families continue to struggle. Once you’ve climbed the ladder, do you stay there forever? Can advancement occur with the help of grants or are structures so rigid that the top jobs are seen as a birthright for the privileged few? Made in Germany reports on the world of the elites and social advancement from the lowest strata.

School prepares you for life – is that still the case? The way people learn, as well as what they are required to learn, is changing. Digital media, tablets and Apps promise simpler, faster and above all entertaining ways to learn. But those professionally driving digitali- zation are opting for more traditional learning methods for their own children: In Silicon Valley, creative, back-to-nature school programs are a popular choice.
