The Weissensee-Saga
Exactly 25 years ago the peaceful revolution in East Germany started and finally forced the communist regime to open the border to West-Berlin and West Germany on 9th November 1989. The following downfall of the regime made way to the peaceful reunification of Germany after 40 years of division. But discontent and contradictions in East Germany started much earlier.
In order to get a deep insight into East German society and the reasons which finally brought the end of this regime, Goethe-Institut Cyprus presents the award winning very successful TV-series “Weissensee” about an East Berlin family, “the first TV show to truly reflect life in the GDR” (The Observer).
