Lecture | Twenty-Five Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Reflections on a United Germany in a Troubled Europe

Monday, March 30, 2015, 6:30 pm

Free

A lecture by sociologist and historian Wolf Lepenies.

In the murderous 20th century that experienced two world wars, the Holocaust, and the threat of atomic annihilation, the fall of the Berlin Wall was a rare moment of happiness. In hindsight, November 9, 1989 and October 3, 1990 (the day of German re-unification) merge into a single event. Twenty-five years ago, things were more complicated.

Wolf Lepenies will talk about developments in Europe that are closely linked to the process of German re-unification and have their foci in four different countries: These are 1. France or The New North-South Conflict within Europe, 2. Hungary or The Scandal of an Illiberal Democracy, 3. Poland or The Failure of the Weimar Triangle, 4. Ukraine or The Lost Virtue of Ambiguity.
