With the political history is no different than that of an individual: You forget, displacing what the self-image trouble , rt, and then must make the experience that the repressed returns. Remembering, repeating, working through would be the proposal of psychoanalysis in order to take the place of supplanting the sometimes painful adoption of the action. Actually, we are stuck in remembering the shame and guilt defiant state which have described the Mitscherlich in the sixties. Not even remembering always succeed. It shows when it is touched on taboos, as in the Wehrmacht exhibition, the first version in Berlin provoked outrage. With the growing distance in time, the subjective memory will be replaced by the politics of memory, which is in the best case, the question of guilt themselves last and it has a shame culture. This is possible only if the propensity for conflict displacement is counteracted by continuous education. become
Since then, Berlin is the capital, to federal politics and city policies are consistent with reasonably. That would be difficult even without the historical burden of Berlin. State and city to work under different principles of order. Civil cities, especially the free cities were, for centuries, in competition with the residential towns. In the 19th Century, the nationalist bourgeoisie indeed, but highly ambivalent towards the state. Berlin was both citizens and city of residence. But even in the second half of the 19th Century the wealthy bourgeoisie began to settle in the west side of the Tiergarten. The male-hostile city in the twenties, which was taken over by the Nazis found their object of hate in Berlin. Therefore, Speer radically reshape the city. Fortunately he has not succeeded very much, but the artifacts of National Socialism are ubiquitous. Who is responsible for them?
days in Rome or Paris and reside in the governments of historic buildings that are part of the city's history in which they all had differnet functions. This local history is open, contradictory, and older than those regimes that attach themselves in the cities. The Elysee Palace was originally owned by a Madame de Pompadour, our ministries are located in Nazi buildings or newly built. For example, the Defense Ministry in the Bendlerblock his Berlin office. And as if the memory of the resistance, the weight is a support needs to be worn permanently, has been erected on the back of the building a monument to the dead soldiers of the Federal Republic of Germany - Although the Federal Republic was officially been involved in any act of war.
How important to the sense of continuity are buildings that have a history, one can see the Reichstag. No trace of beauty. But the Reichstag building is perhaps the only old government building, for its history, nobody should be ashamed. Built as the Reichstag and under Kaiser Wilhelm I, all the major Democrats have until 1933 there had their stage. The Reichstag arsonist, who he was, had more sense of symbolic politics, as he probably knew. After the fire, the Nazis no longer enter the building. It survived the war severely damaged. Since it became part of West Berlin, it was spared the Communist usurpation.
A reunified Germany has made the revitalization of the Reichstag, whose history of his own. The only way to understand the somewhat hasty with the "Berlin Republic", which suggests a connection to the Weimar Republic, which is meaningless. A similar name is magic in the case of the Reichstag. Originally a job title is "diet" has become a proper name, with the Berlin adorns itself. He is the only building that connects the state with the city. The ugly monster has become a major tourist attraction. Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the seventies submitted their project to the wrapping of the Bonn Parliament, the rejection was great. The two did not give up. The agreement finally came after the German-German unification before the Reichstag was restored to its former function as a parliament. Horst Bredekamp suggested for this change of mood psychological reasons. For the unconscious, it suggests its interpretation, is the ruined face of German history has been covered and appeared after the unveiling as purified. Although a work of art that you could only watch from a distance, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have succeeded in, put thousands and thousands of so in awe that they felt like a new person. No one would have wondered it if would have been out of the pupation a disguise, and the Diet easily emerged as the Roman Capitol, the unveiling.
