3. The Path to the Berlin Wall : Critical Stages in the History of Divided Germany

Author

Manfred Wilke and Manfred Wilke

Subjects
Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989, German reunification question (1949-1990)
Abstract

The long path to the Berlin Wall began in 1945, when Josef Stalin instructed the Communist Party to take power in the Soviet occupation zone while the three Western allies secured their areas of influence. When Germany was split into separate states in 1949, Berlin remained divided into four sectors, with West Berlin surrounded by the GDR but lingering as a captivating showcase for Western values and goods. Following a failed Soviet attempt to expel the allies from West Berlin with a blockade in 1948–49, a second crisis ensued from 1958–61, during which the Soviet Union demanded once and for all the withdrawal of the Western powers and the transition of West Berlin to a “Free City.” Ultimately Nikita Khrushchev decided to close the border in hopes of halting the overwhelming exodus of East Germans into the West. Tracing this path from a German perspective, Manfred Wilke draws on recently published conversations between Khrushchev and Walter Ulbricht, head of the East German state, in order to reconstruct the coordination process between these two leaders and the events that led to building the Berlin Wall.

Abstract

The unification of the two German countries in 1989 shattered the politics, the institutions and organizations of both nations, and the entire society in a unique and unprecedented way. This was especially so for the population of the new Eastern federal states -- the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). The article presents, on the one hand, results of research carried out in both the western and eastern parts of Germany shortly after the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 asking for attitudes in terms of the process of unification. On the other hand, there is a focus on the biographical development of two subjects from the former GDR who were interviewed in the early 1990s and in 2012. In these case studies (portraits), differences and similarities concerning their life history will be spelled out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this article the author reflects on the unification history of Germany and the historical demolition of the Berlin Wall. According to him, the Germany's unification cannot be called a complete success as it was a failure of West Germany's lack of preparation for the events of 1989. He states that reunification became a political drama between the left and the right governments. And irrespective of all joys over the fall of the wall, it was a missed chance of historic proportions.
