German unity |
| "Das Brandenburger Tor" in Berlin |
13th August 1961: In the early morning hours the construction of the Berlin wall began.Armed border troops were lecrating the pavement,built up barricades and spanned barbwire.The Berlin Wall was a symbol of the Cold War which divided the world in East and West.On the 7th October 1949,the GDR was founded on soviet-russian occupation zone.1989 brought a peacful recolution the Fall of the Berlin Wall ,the end of the GDR and paved the way for the reunification of Germany.But even 20 years later is Germany still a country with two societies.The path to the ''completion of the reunification'' seemd to be further afar,then thought.
Long way of unity

The german reunification is a sucess-story.But even 20 years after the unification-contract for a quick approximation of the situation in East and West Germany is not expected. Admittedly 45% of the germans see themselves in year 2010 rather on the winner side.But even so nearly one Quarter are counting themselves to the losers of the reunfication.
Especially in East Germany the structural change of 1990 has led partial to shocking upheavals in the political,economic,social and personal circumstances.These changes and their long-term consequences can just overcome by all people considered like responsible doers with high effort,the adaptility and creative energy.
Germany after the reunification–that is a special form of a ''risky society'' Uncertanties and risks about the agreement-process are getting smaller and better controlable with time.Also the people in West and East Germany have learned to live and get by better and more efficient with the challenges caused by the change.Nevertheless,the risk management of unification stays until further notice a continuous term.
Three examples are demonstrating that: To overcome the financial crisis,the industries of eastern germany had to reduce.Thereby the number of traineeships sank which led to today's lack of junior employee's.At the same time new differences between West and East germans are rising,where partly the East of germany is more ''modern'' then the West,such as at the flexibility of the job market.Ultimatively,the felt distance between social-moralic rolemodels and the social reality is growing more and more.Especially East germans see the ''trim-made'' germany very critical.
