Verflochtene Waldgeschichten / Entangled Woods
Über Wälder und Forste, vermeintlich alte und sehr moderne, ihre Rodung und Wiederaufforstung. Die Beschäftigung mit dem Thema Wald hat in der deutschen Geschichte zweifelsohne eine lange Tradition. Die Auswirkungen jedoch sind weit umfassender. Umweltschützer weltweit weisen auf die strategische Bedeutung von Wäldern hin, häufig werden diese als Teil der nicht-sozialisierten »Natur« verstanden, die vor ungezügelter Ausbeutung zu schützen ist.

Local Lives, Parallel Histories. Villagers and Everyday Lives in the Divided Germany
Local history matters. Marcel Thomas has written a book that is a strong statement in favour of local history, and persuasively demonstrates its potential contribution to the understanding of modern German history. He chose two German villages, Ebersbach in the ‘Old Federal Republic’ and Neukirch in the ‘Former GDR’. In 1945, these two villages looked very similar in important variables, and thereafter they developed on diverging trajectories, re…
At the Frontlines of the Cold War
At the Frontlines of the Cold War: Border-Guarding and the Practices of German DivisionThe study of border guarding in post-war Germany has highlighted especially acts of violence by East German border guards during the Cold War. This article argues that border guarding in East and West developed in tandem, as both sides always reacted to each other and depended on each other. It shows that border guarding on both sides of the East-West divide pl…
The Semantics of Political Integration
In the immediate period following the Second World War the Western occupation zones of Germany received eight million ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe. Initially these newcomers were lumped in Western German discourse under the term ‘refugees’. Yet, within less than a decade, the term ‘expellees’ emerged as a more popular denotation. Scholarship has offered two explanations for this semantic change, emphasising the political influen…
Growing Apart
A variety of external forces led to the division of Germany after 1945, and, almost three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, division continues to persist as a social, economic, and political factor in united Germany. This article contributes to scholarly efforts aimed at delineating the ways in which division became a component in the self-perception of many Germans. Focusing on farmers, it shows that their attachment to the land was one…
Hidden Behind the Wall
It is widely accepted that the inter-German border was constructed by East German authorities to halt the emigration to the west, which had damaged the East German economy and undermined the East German state agencies' power. This article argues that this is an inaccurate understanding, which mistakenly treats perceptions and insights gained from studying the Berlin Wall as representative of the mostly rural border between East and West Germany. …
