The East German Ministry for State Security stood for Stalinist oppression and all-encompassing surveillance. The "shield and sword of the party," it secured the rule of the Communist Party for more than forty years, and by the 1980s it had become the largest secret-police apparatus in the world, per capita. Jens Gieseke tells the story of the Stasi, a feared secret-police force and a highly professional intelligence service. He inquires into the mechanisms of dictatorship and the day-to-day effects of surveillance and suspicion. Masterful and thorough at once, he takes the reader through t

"Queer Lives across the Wall examines the everyday lives of queer Berliners between 1945 and 1970, tracing private and public queer life from the end of the Nazi regime through the gay and lesbian liberation movements of the 1970s. Andrea Rottmann explores how certain spaces--including homes, bars, streets, parks, and prisons--facilitated and restricted queer lives in the overwhelmingly conservative climate that characterized both German postwar states. By examining both public and private urban spaces, the book draws a complex picture of how queer lives were lived, going beyond previous histories that focus on state surveillance and the persecution of male homosexuality. With a theoretical toolkit informed by feminist, queer, and spatial theories, the book combines previously unknown sources from the archives of the feminist and LGBTIQ* movements in police, Stasi, and prisoner files. As an intersectional history of lesbian, trans, and gay male lives in East and West Berlin, Queer Lives across the Wall illuminates the entanglements of gender, sexuality, and class."--

Berlin's Aedes Architecture Forum is one of the most eminent spaces for architecture and architectural culture in the world. Founded in 1980 by Kristin Feireiss and Helga Retzer, Aedes has since put on five hundred important exhibitions on current themes, featuring many of the world's most eminent architects. After Retzer's unexpected death in 1994, Aedes has been run by Feireiss, together with Hans-Jürgen Commerell and a large, committed team of collaborators. Faces and Spaces looks back at four decades of the gallery's lively and multifaceted history. Engaging and accessible, it arranges by decade the stories and photos of the five hundred people who have presented at Aedes or put on an exhibition there. This book is a captivating and amusing who's who of the international architecture scene from the postmodern era until today. Also included are images that document key exhibitions as well as the various spaces in Berlin which Aedes has used as a venue, along with a complete list of all shows staged between 1980 and 2020.

While Bertold Brecht became identified internationally as the cultural figurehead of the GDR, his relationship with the authorities was always complex. This book examines his activities in the GDR and the regime's marginalizing response and posthumous appropriation of his legacy.

Located in the geographical center of Berlin, the neighboring boroughs of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg shared a history and identity until their fortunes diverged dramatically following the construction of the Berlin Wall, which placed them within opposing political systems. This revealing account of the two municipal districts before, during and after the Cold War takes a microhistorical approach to investigate the broader historical trajectories of East and West Berlin, with particular attention to housing, religion, and leisure. Merged in 2001, they now comprise a single neighborhood that bears the traces of these complex histories and serves as an illuminating case study of urban renewal, gentrification, and other social processes that continue to reshape Berlin.

Die weltberühmten Sammlungen der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin verbinden Kunst und Politik in ganz besonderer Weise. Wie Museumsleute vom späten Kaiserreich über die Weimarer Republik und das "Dritte Reich" hinweg bis zur Nachkriegszeit als politische Akteure auftraten, zeigt diese Studie. Timo Saalmann stellt damit nicht nur heraus, wie gesellschaftlich bedeutsam die Museumsinsel im Diskurs um das nationale Eigentum in allen politischen Systemen war, sondern schärft auch den Blick für die kulturpolitischen Aufgaben, die während des Kalten Kriegs der Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz zukamen.
