  • He Big “Mitte-Struggle” Politics and Aesthetics of Berlin's Post
    Martin Gegner he big “mitt e-struggl e” politics and a esth etics of t b rlin’s post-r nification e eu urbanism proj ects Abstract There is hardly a metropolis found in Europe or elsewhere where the 104 urban structure and architectural face changed as often, or dramatically, as in 20 th century Berlin. During this century, the city served as the state capital for five different political systems, suffered partial destruction pós- during World War II, and experienced physical separation by the Berlin wall for 28 years. Shortly after the reunification of Germany in 1989, Berlin was designated the capital of the unified country. This triggered massive building activity for federal ministries and other governmental facilities, the majority of which was carried out in the old city center (Mitte) . It was here that previous regimes of various ideologies had built their major architectural state representations; from to the authoritarian Empire (1871-1918) to authoritarian socialism in the German Democratic Republic (1949-89). All of these époques still have remains concentrated in the Mitte district, but it is not only with governmental buildings that Berlin and its Mitte transformed drastically in the last 20 years; there were also cultural, commercial, and industrial projects and, of course, apartment buildings which were designed and completed. With all of these reasons for construction, the question arose of what to do with the old buildings and how to build the new. From 1991 onwards, the Berlin urbanism authority worked out guidelines which set aesthetic guidelines for all construction activity. The 1999 Planwerk Innenstadt (City Center Master Plan) itself was based on a Leitbild (overall concept) from the 1980s called “Critical Reconstruction of a European City.” Many critics, architects, and theorists called it a prohibitive construction doctrine that, to a certain extent, represented conservative or even reactionary political tendencies in unified Germany.

  • Deutscher Bundestag
    Wissenschaftliche Dienste Deutscher Bundestag Aktueller Begriff Vierzig Jahre Deutsche Vereinigung für Parlamentsfragen Ende der sechziger Jahre wurde in Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit zunehmend über Wissens- und Verständnisdefizite in den Debatten über Parlamentarismus in der Bundesrepublik Deutsch- land geklagt. Auch wenn die parlamentarische Demokratie bereits zwei Jahrzehnte erfolgreich praktiziert worden war, mangelte es der wissenschaftlichen und öffentlichen Parlamentarismus- diskussion nach Ansicht zahlreicher Beobachter nicht nur an fundierten Kenntnissen über die parlamentarischen Gegebenheiten, sondern auch an einem schnellen und leichten Zugriff auf Daten und Informationen über aktuelle Entwicklungen des Parlamentarismus. Dies hatte in den Augen der Kritiker die sachbezogene Beobachtung, Kritik und Mitwirkung – also essentielle Grundbedingungen jeder parlamentarischen Demokratie – in der Bundesrepublik beeinträchtigt. Vor diesem Hintergrund fanden sich Wissenschaftler, Parlamentarier, Journalisten und Mitarbei- ter der Bundestagsverwaltung zur Gründung einer Vereinigung zusammen, die durch die Bereit- stellung zuverlässiger parlamentsbezogener Informationen, Daten und Analysen die wissen- schaftliche und öffentliche Diskussion über Funktionsweise, Reformbedarf und Reformmöglich- keiten des parlamentarischen Systems befördern sollte. Am 21. Januar 1970 wurde sie in Bonn als Deutsche Vereinigung für Parlamentsfragen (DVParl) gegründet. In Konzeption und Ausrichtung orientierten sich die Gründerväter an der englischen Hansard

    III. DIE VERWANDELNDE KRAFT DER GEWALT 1. Terror. Die verwandelnde Kraft der Gewalt Spätestens nach 1977 begann also, was jene von neukonservativer Seite apostro- phierte „geistige“ und „moralische“ Auseinandersetzung anging, der Vorlauf zum Machtwechsel von 1982. Die Gewichte verschoben sich. Die „Tendenzwende“, ein gegenideologisches Projekt am Anfang der 70er Jahre, war zu einem wirklichen poli- tisch-kulturellen Einstellungswandel von weiten Teilen der veröffentlichten Meinung am Ende des Jahrzehnts geworden. Im Meinungsklima der Bundesrepublik waren nun konservative Leitthemen in der Offensive. Neben Staat und Nation war der dritte Fixstern am konservativen Wertehimmel die Macht. Das Bedürfnis nach Durchsetzung von Macht kristallisierte sich heraus an der größten Infragestellung politischer Routinen in Staat und Gesellschaft: dem Terror. Am 18. Oktober 1977 erreichte die mehrere Wochen andauernde Krise um die Gei- selnahme Hanns Martin Schleyers und die Entführung der Lufthansa-Maschine „Landshut“ ihren Höhepunkt: Ein Anti-Terror-Kommando des Bundesgrenzschutzes befreite 86 Passagiere und Besatzungsmitglieder auf dem Flugplatz der somalischen Hauptstadt Mogadischu und tötete drei der vier arabischen Geiselnehmer. Die RAF ermordete Schleyer. In dem Bekennerschreiben hieß es: „Wir haben nach 43 Tagen Hanns Martin Schleyers klägliche und korrupte Existenz beendet.“ Vier der führen- den RAF-Angehörigen, die aus der Haft freigepresst werden sollten, entschieden sich zur Selbsttötung. Gudrun Ensslin, Andreas Baader und Jan-Carl Raspe wurden tot in ihren Zellen in Stuttgart Stammheim gefunden; Irmgard Möller überlebte schwer 451 verletzt. Schon zuvor hatten Terroristen die drei Personenschützer und den Fahrer Schleyers sowie den Piloten der „Landshut“ ermordet. 1 Am 20. Oktober gedachte der Deutsche Bundestag den Opfern des Terrorismus. Auf der Tagesordnung standen „Gedenkworte für den ermordeten Präsidenten des Bundesverbandes der Deutschen Industrie und der Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Arbeitgeberverbände, Dr.
