This article is concerned with the restructuring of secondary school education in eastern Germany after unification in 1990. It includes a brief overview of the wider changes implemented, and the difficulties involved in those changes, before focusing on the perceptions held by a sample of teachers working in Gesamtschulen in the eastern federal state of Brandenburg. This micro‐level analysis examines some of the impacts of the restructuring process on the secondary education system in Brandenburg and highlights the current problems, from the viewpoint of the teachers. The article concludes that the processes of change after unification ignored or neglected to a large extent the expertise and potential contributions of teachers who had gained experience within the GDR education system
