The Longue Durée of 1989/90. Regime Change and Everyday Life in East Germany

This thematic focus brings together projects that reconstruct, across the turning point of 1989/90, the social change that enabled and shaped the peaceful revolution and the transformation. The focus is based on the now-completed joint project “The Longue Durée of 1989/90. Regime Change and Everyday Life in East Germany” which was funded by the Leibniz Association as part of the 2016–2020 Leibniz Competition. Project Director: Priv.-Doz. Dr. Kerstin Brückweh; Research Associates: Dr. Anja Schröter, Kathrin Zöller, Clemens Villinger.
