Westen – Osten in Deutschland: Spaltung, Abspaltung, Externalisierung, Auslöschung

In the organizer's words:

Even more than 35 years after the politically formal reunification, the East remains excluded from adequately shaping the country in all areas of society. At the same time, the East is made to understand by the West in public discourse, which is completely dominated by West German perspectives, that it is merely a pathological deviation from the norm that must adapt. The fact that this blatant imbalance threatens democracy will be discussed in a lecture by Prof. Dr. Dirk Oschmann, author of the bestseller "The East: a West German invention".
