German History and Society Urban Development and Cultural Heritage Memory, Trauma, and Commemoration

Abstract

AFTER GERMAN UNIFICATION East and West Berlin became united, and the once divided city acquired again the status of the capital of the Federal Republic of Germany. During this historic moment the urban district of Mitte in former socialist East Berlin became one of the most contested landscapes in the city. From 1990 to 1995 a striking politics of culture was launched, in which street names as carriers of one past were used as instruments in the production of the new past and the new present (eine Vergangenheitsbewältigung and eine Gegenwartsbewältigung).
