  • Berlin, Den 17.12.2002 Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße in Erfurt Am
    Berlin, den 17.12.2002 Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße in Erfurt Am 20. Dezember 02, anläßlich des 52. Geburtstags des Dichters, wird die Straße am Landtag in Erfurt in Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße benannt. Die Stadt Erfurt und der Landtag des Landes Thüringen ehren mit der Benennung einen Poeten, der mit seinen intensiven, leisen Gedichten die Nöte einer DDR-Jugend ausdrückte, die sich in den Zwängen des totalen Anspruches der SED auf die Menschen selbst zu behaupten versuchte. Seine akribische Beobachtung wertete die Realität ohne den erhobenen Zeigefinger des Moralisten. Die real existierenden Sozialisten sperrten ihn dafür ins Gefängnis und schoben ihn vor 25 Jahren in den Westen ab. Der so in eine neue Welt Geworfene konnte nun in seinem Beruf als Psychologe arbeiten und baute gemeinsam mit seiner Frau den "Treffpunkt Waldstraße" im Berliner Problembezirk Moabit auf, einen Heimatort für Jugendliche und Kinder aus schwierigen sozialen Verhältnissen.Jürgen Fuchs' literarisches Werk blieb nicht bei der Beschreibung des sozialistischen Totalitarismus stehen, sondern lotete die Möglichkeiten des Menschseins darin aus. In seiner Geradlinigkeit und seinem unbestechlichen Urteil achtete Fuchs darauf, daß die Aufarbeitung des SED-Unrechts nicht abstrakt blieb, sondern den Menschen in ihrer konkreten Situation gerecht wurde. Dafür ist ihm das Bürgerbüro e.V., zu dessen Gründern er gehörte, dankbar und verpflichtet. Der Weg in den Thüringer Landtag führt zukünftig über eine Straße der Sensibilität für die Nöte der Mitmenschen und des Engagements für die Menschenrechte. Dr. Ehrhart Neubert, amt. Vorsitzender Ralf Hirsch, Vorstand Presseerklärung vom 22.10.2002 JÖRN MOTHES: Kein Abstand zur Diktatur Ringstorff und Holter haben in ihrer Koalitionsvereinbarung die Auflösung der Behörde des Landesbeauftragten des Landes Mecklenburg-Vorpommern für die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes der ehemaligen DDR beschlossen.

  • Freya Klier (Sender Freies Berlin, Berlin, Juli 2001 September 2001) „ DIE DRITTEN DEUTSCHEN“ 1. Momentaufnahme Eine
    Freya Klier (Sender Freies Berlin, Berlin, Juli 2001 September 2001) „ DIE DRITTEN DEUTSCHEN“ 1. Momentaufnahme einer Fluchtwelle Im „Askanischen Gymnasium“ Berlin-Tempelhof richtet der amtierende Direktor zwei sogenannte „Ost-Klassen“ ein. Wir schreiben das Jahr 1957 - noch trennt die Deutschen keine Mauer. Doch gibt es in der DDR bereits eine große Zahl Jugendlicher, denen aus politischen Gründen das Abitur verwehrt wird: Schon verhaltene Kritik an der SED und ihrem Jugendverband FDJ oder ein Engagement in der Kirche reichen, um von höherer Bildung ausgeschlossen zu sein. Etliche Jugendliche aus Ostberlin und Umgebung nutzen also vor dem Mauerbau die Chance, in Westberlin das Abitur abzulegen - einige schleichen in täglicher Nervenbelastung über die Zonengrenze, andere sind vor Ort untergebracht, bei der Heilsarmee oder im Kloster zum Guten Hirten, und kehren nur am Wochenende heim zu ihren Familien. Der Direktor, auf der Suche nach einem Ausweg aus dem Dilemma ostdeutscher Bildungsverbote, ist selbst ein Zonenflüchtling und kennt sich in der Materie aus. Das Lehrerkollegium des „Askanischen Gymnasiums“ aber beweist Mut mit seinen Ostklassen, denn das SED-Regime rächt sich, die Lehrer werden bei Kollegiumsfahrten von DDR-Grenzern stets besonders schikaniert. Für die Schüler aus dem Osten aber eröffnet sich sesamgleich die Welt der Demokratie - sie werden in den Diskurs über Europa involviert, die jüdische Geschichte, die Deutschlandfrage... Die meisten der 280 Ost-Schüler, die im Lauf von fünf Jahren in Westberlin das Abitur ablegen, werden früher oder später für immer im westlichen Teil Deutschlands landen. Sie sind Teil einer riesigen Fluchtwelle, die vor 1989 stets in die gleiche Richtung rollt - von Ost nach West.

    BR-ONLINE | Das Online-Angebot des Bayerischen Rundfunks Sendung vom 30.07.1999 Freya Klier Schriftstellerin und Regisseurin im Gespräch mit Corinna Benning Benning: Grüß Gott, meine Damen und Herren, ich begrüße Sie herzlich bei Alpha- Forum. Unser heutiger Gast ist Freya Klier, engagierte Bürgerrechtlerin, Schriftstellerin, Regisseurin und Mitbegründerin der DDR- Friedensbewegung. Herzlich willkommen, Frau Klier. Klier: Hallo. Benning: Frau Klier, Ihre Biographie umspannt eigentlich zwei Leben: ein ost- und ein westdeutsches, und das ist ein Schicksal, das so nur in einem geteilten Land denkbar ist. Sie sind 1950 in Dresden geboren und übten Schauspiel- und Regietätigkeiten in Dresden, Leipzig und Ostberlin aus. 1985 erhielten Sie Berufsverbot, 1988 wurden Sie verhaftet und aus der DDR ausgebürgert. Seither sind Sie freischaffende Autorin und Regisseurin in Westberlin. Sehen Sie sich in einer gewissen Weise als Opfer der deutschen Geschichte? Klier: Das würde ich nun überhaupt nicht sagen. Wenn Sie mich jetzt gefragt hätten, ob ich mich mehr als Ostdeutsche fühle, dann hätte ich ja gesagt, weil ich ja 38 Jahre dort gelebt habe. Ich sehe mich überhaupt nicht als Opfer. Ich habe zwar sehr schlimme Dinge erlebt, u. a. auch einen Mordanschlag und auch sehr viele Gefängnisaufenthalte in unserer Familie. Denn ich selbst war zweimal im Gefängnis, und mein Vater und mein Bruder waren ebenfalls im Gefängnis. Aber dennoch ist es so, dass ich eher kraftvoll aus dieser Zeit herausgegangen bin und nun meine Kraft auch für diejenigen einsetzen kann, die nun wirklich Opfer sind: die zwar nicht tot sind, aber die seelisch so zerstört sind, dass sich jemand für ihre Interessen und Nöte einsetzen muß.

  • Festrede Der DDR-Bürgerrechtlerin Freya Klier Zum 9. Oktober in Leipzig
    Festrede der DDR-Bürgerrechtlerin Freya Klier zum 9. Oktober in Leipzig In den Städten brennt die Luft Am Anfang der Friedlichen Revolution steht rohe Gewalt. Für die DDR-Führung und ihren Machtapparat ist die Konterrevolution bereits seit den aufgedeckten Wahlfälschungen im Mai 1989 bedrohlich fortgeschritten. Sind die Internierungslager bereit? Wie lange sollen sie diesem Treiben - das selbstverständlich von „feindlich-negativen Elementen im Auftrag des US-Imperialismus“ angezettelt wurde - noch zuschauen? Im Juni 89 begrüßen sie mit Egon Krenz das Massaker der chinesischen Regierung am Tian’anmen-Platz in Peking, das mehrere tausend Menschen das Leben kostet, und wünschen sich, gegen die aufmüpfigen DDR- Bürger würde ähnlich hart durchgegriffen, falls die ihre Provokationen nicht beenden. Im Sommer wird es für die Genossen noch schlimmer: Mit den Ereignissen in Polen, der Fluchtwelle über Ungarn und den Botschaftsbesetzungen spitzt sich die politische Krise der DDR nun derart zu, dass sich spontan oppositionelle Gruppe bilden. Sie nennen sich Neues Forum, Initiative für eine Sozialdemokratische Partei, Demokratischer Aufbruch, Demokratie Jetzt… und sie kommen aus einer Bürgerrechtsbewegung, die schon seit Jahren um Demokratie im Land ringt, zumeist unter dem Dach der Kirche. Sie waren bisher in Friedenskreisen aktiv, haben den Boden für eine Gesellschaft bereitet, die noch nirgendwo in Sicht ist: Ihre Themen waren Abrüstung, Menschenrechte, Umweltschutz, Bewahrung der Schöpfung, Erziehung und Wehrdienstverweigerung. Und nun wird plötzlich auch Bleiben oder Gehen zur Schicksalsfrage. Denn im September 1989 fliehen bereits täglich Menschen in einer Dorf- bis Kleinstadtstärke über die ungarische Grenze. In Leipzig nehmen im September die Verhaftungen zu, auch in Berlin und Potsdam. Fastenaktionen und Mahnwachen für inhaftierte Bürgerrechtler sind die Antwort darauf.

  • Reflections on the Involvement of Women in the Democratic Opposition in the Late East Germany (1981-1989)
    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI 2018 KATARZYNA JEDYNAKIEWICZ-MRÓZ Łódź REFLECTIONS ON THE INVOLVEMENT OF WOMEN IN THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION IN THE LATE EAST GERMANY (1981-1989) “None of us felt particularly brave”. Bärbel Bohley The engagement of women in the democratic opposition movement in the East- ern Bloc countries is one of the themes in the discussion on the phenomenon of the bottom-up defiance of the communist system and its role in the final collapse of “real socialism”. In Poland, this problem has been analysed since the late 1990s, in both research1 and printed publications2. Regarding the contributions at the junction of research and opinion journalism, their authors (in fact, female writers) attempt to highlight the role of women in the structures of the Polish opposition, analysing at the same time the reasons for the dominance of “the male narrative of events” in the literature. In the context of the disputes over women’s involvement in the initiatives oppos- ing the regime in late communist Poland, a question arises about the involvement of women in the organized opposition movements in other Eastern Bloc countries. The comparative analysis of this phenomenon is possible only to a limited extent. The fun- damental problem is the inability to provide precise quantitative data, both in terms of the size of the groups and the involvement of women in them.3 Another obstacle in the analysis is the relatively small number of memoirs written by women activists, who were typically unwilling to “emphasise” their role in the opposition movement. The aforementioned gaps do not discourage the attempt to embark on at least a partial reflection on the female engagement in the democratic opposition in the 1 Cf.

  • Freya Klier 3. Oktober Rede
    : Die DDR, dein Feind und Häscher. Freya Klier zum 3. Oktober. Page 1 of 8 Gastautor 03.10.2011 11:56 Die DDR, dein Feind und Häscher. Freya Klier zum 3. Oktober. Zum 3. Oktober erinnert die ehemalige DDR-Bürgerrechtlerin Freya Klier an einen DDR-Alltag voller Willkür und Schikanen, rechnet mit der Stasi ab, geht mit der DDR-Nachfolgekanaille und bundesdeutscher Naivität ins Gericht. Aber: Der Wahnwitz des “realen Sozialismus” wurde immerhin vor über zwei Jahrzehnten in die Knie gezwungen, und Freya Klier hat die Hoffnung nicht aufgegeben, daß unsere Demokratie weiterhin an Oberhand gewinnt. Sie hat Achgut ihre Rede, die sie heute morgen in Mülheim an der Ruhr hielt, als exklusive Erstveröffentlichung im Volltext zur Verfügung gestellt. 1. Das große Spiel Leipzig. Ein kalter Septembermorgen im Jahr 1984. An den Gleisen des Hauptbahnhofs wartet eine Gruppe junger Leute auf einen Zug. Müdigkeit herrscht, denn es ist noch sehr früh am Morgen. Immerhin ist die Gruppe wach genug, um zu bemerken, dass sie von mehreren Stasi-Leuten beobachtet wird… Gegen 6.52 Uhr rollt endlich der erwartete Zug ein: ´15 Agenten und Spione aus Bonn´, so wird die Staatssicherheit kurz darauf notieren, ´steigen aus - getarnt als Fußball-Fans. Versehen haben sie sich mit so harmlosen Decknamen wie Wolle, Tommy, Wulf, Udo oder Chris....´ Was der DDR-Geheimdienst für Tarnung hält, ist keine - die jungen Leute, die an diesem Morgen zur Messezeit aus dem Zug steigen, heißen tatsächlich so. Und es handelt sich bei ihnen nicht um Agenten und Spione, sondern eine Jugendgruppe vom Rhein, die eine große Leidenschaft mit den Leipziger Jugendlichen auf dem Bahnsteig teilt: Sie sind allesamt Fußball-Fans! Und alle treten selbst gern den Ball - die einen eben in Bonn, die anderen in Leipzig.
