Inventing Berlin

Architecture, Politics and Cultural Memory in the New/Old German Capital Post-1989

More about the book

The book delves into the transformation of Berlin's symbolic landscape after 1989, focusing on street names, architecture, and urban planning as reflections of contested cultural memory and national identity. It provides a detailed analysis of changes in the eastern part of the city before and after the Berlin Wall, supported by theoretical insights and broader historical contexts. Additionally, it introduces the concept of the "symbolic foreigner," exploring the feelings of disenfranchisement among former GDR citizens in contemporary German society.
