Everything except Berlin is provincial? The reunification took place in East Germany. Uta Bretschneider travels the country documenting the decay and resurgence of the former GDR.
And Gregor Sander turns the tables for once: View from the East to the West – Gelsenkirchen. It really does exist there. The gray and sad West.The native of Schwerin spent several months there, researching for his novel and experiencing the poor West, where coal and steel are long gone.
Moderation: Markus Dichmann
Participants in the discussion: Uta Bretschneider and Gregor Sander
