Buchcover "Auf beiden Seiten"
© Verlag
Ute Kähler, a Berlin police officer with a biography of the East and who works in police section 15 in Prenzlauer Berg, works with people who once served in front of or behind the Wall. Decades after the border disappeared, she went in search of clues. According to the police commissioner in her foreword, three important things can be felt in her stories: Respect, great closeness and an even greater sympathy for her colleagues, regardless of whether they are still actively on duty or already retired. These are historical testimonies that document the disappearance of contrasts, but also differences. We read about events that would have been forgotten if Ute Kähler had not written them down. Above all, however, it becomes clear that there is no single narrative of the police in the days of the Wall. Only all the stories together provide a multifaceted picture of the living and working environment at that time directly on the state border (as it was called in the GDR) or the demarcation line (as it was called in West Berlin).Translated with DeepL
