at the world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the house. the bottom line, when i was just there, i'm all i i turn in on conventional capital city hall ever changing and yet forever defined by its turbulent pos divided by a concrete barrier for decade in the berlin wall, split the city and polarized germany into 2 peoples a palpable political schism, a symbol of the power, an ideological struggles between east and west congress.

germany is a graphic symbol of the desperate need and reconstruction off to the end of the 2nd world war, berlin became the epicenter of the new world order. ah, divided between the wars victors, the u. s. u. k. france and the former soviet union controlled different parts of the cities. the duplicate tensions between the eastern and western blocks eventually led to the cold war. the former zones controlled by east and west emerged as new nations. ah, the capitalists, federal republic of germany, and the communist german democratic republic at the peak of berlin was one of the most strategically critical places in the world. the in the early hours of august, the 13th 1961. the 1st barriers of the berlin wall rose along the eastern border.

the concrete block put up in the days, followed, marked an immediate new reality. cutting off families and friends and the world of freedom, the proudest on. yeah. the clear statement of us policy in the week of the construction of the wall me soviet leader nikita khrushchev maintained that as long as the concrete rules still stood, western leaders could not declare victory. but as the soviet union power and influence began to decline in the late 19 eighties, it spelled the beginning of the end for the eastern block. ah, the east german government couldn't keep functioning without the support of the soviets. change was coming in the early days of november, 1989 east germans turned out in huge numbers,

demanding reforms. on the evening of november 9, 1989 history was made is unknown to november and the orders that he did it grants and the to them of nathan, he taught them to invite off and the rest they say is history. i'm stephanie decker and welcome to berlin. when the borders opened. it presented the city with a whole new world of opportunities and also to the people who lived here and now was 32 years on the german capital. continue the process of transformation city that's been described by many as being in a forever state the coming and never be i and perhaps that's what makes it the pulsating cities. it is today. forever marked by the

crashing dogmas, east and west, ah, represent in every neighborhood in its public space. in the way the city has been expanding, gentrifying and within its world renown street art. the will may have come down, but the decades of polarizing ideologies and policies that it represented had been harder to break down. what is berlin today and has a barrier that this was created? been broken? is there still an e vs left on this edition of talk to algebra in the field will be exploring berlin identity will be joined by berliners to discuss the city and his status quo legacy . and how much reflected what many consider to be euro unapologetically rebel capital i

thomas denmark knows berlin well. he studied here and parties here drink what many would say was it's katie, in the 1990 s. and now in urban planner, he has seen the city change over the years. so this is your vision for 2017, for that night, certainly berlin and on book. so that was the city itself, but also for the entire region focusing on sustainable development. he's looking ahead and how to manage a city is constantly evolving. what fascinating effect after the fall off the wall . the city was like an open playground. there was so many empty buildings that hasn't been used before. and that attractive, a influx of creative people and that occupied the space of at the same time, there was of course, also a boom expect investment for there was a lot of buying of property. and trying to figure out who actually own something at

the time. because even that was unclear on the period, but that economic boom that everybody expected barely enough the portal to eastern europe and so on. that just didn't happen because it attracted artist artistic people. you know, your community is the best clubs and all that. and it became of the night life center here, just because the boom didn't happen. so it was a different boom that happened. i think that made the for the very interesting, even though that was not planned. it just happened to me because it's organic. we are plan a theory plan of yet that the same time, that's exactly what you want to know and an exciting place with freedom. that freedom over the decade is attracted artists, musicians, party people, creative thinkers. berlin became known as a hub for street art and expression the

. the interesting thing was like a big place in the 90s you had on the pipe buildings, you had huge industrial sites that you could work on without problems. so i think there's a lot of fear that get attracted by this freedom in the ninety's, also graffiti writers and then 2000 the freedom of the street artist is also they travel a lot and they leave their traces behind in every city. so like space invaders from france, he left pieces here starting in 2003 or banks. he was here to he left pieces also here a little wraps. so many artist came here for that. the street artist passing by so it's street are to prison or graffiti tourism because the graffiti right is new. it's easy here, more easy to find space, maybe less police present. less control is brilliant, still attracting artists to come here in the same way that i did before. i think now the artist that they get aware that the rents are higher. so maybe there's some

less coming. but it's still attractive because it still has turner to have places, maybe an inspiring vibe or something like that. and amazing spaces, ah, ah, increasing rents, and then i can. housing is an issue facing berlin. we put that to thomas. after the fall of the rule, the reputation berlin was that you could come, anyone could come here a new very cheaply do whatever they wanted. but that seems to be changing now. 30 years later that changed to changing. first of all, the tough took a longer. so the boom that initially didn't happen, happened later, and delayed for some european larger companies put their headquarters in berlin. moved here from frankfurt or even from london, they recently of causal for the breakfast played

a throne bucket. maybe even one interestingly, is that to be freedom and creativity was so interesting that that became an attractive by its own company. if people thought out that environment, even if maybe they themselves weren't artists, they wanted to be close to them. and i thought that we were the 1st pioneers and then a bit more mainstream followed. and let's not forget that also all these great people, they just got older for their potted, a bit less merry than married. suddenly they have children, maybe they even started the company and now on the record label, what not, but it has become a real business. and we see that happening now. is there a backlash to that? because berlin seems to be a city that if we generalize or against rules, they don't want it more expensive runs gentrification seems to get a lot of pushback here. it's also fascinating because it seems to parallel processes going on. on the one hand, there's the people here,

the events that have always been in the neighborhood. and often what's happening, they might even ask, what are these creative people doing here? and why is my rent suddenly much more expensive? i don't want any of that. and then on could say that recently it's observable that there's almost parallel world emerging power system of international capital coming in the apartment paid by the company, whatever it doesn't matter, let's just go for it. and so there's a huge gap between these 2 systems. and that indeed leads to a backlash and to conflict at the moment. and they see that we see that, especially in courts, that if they have the fancy shop opening, the window gets smashed regularly. not because of a particular have against that store. but just to, you know, to try to them from the curve if you want, you're not to keep the speculation and try to repeat down. but that, of course, can't be the solution either. berlin has a very unique history with the wall east,

west germany. and in general, how do you see that in berlin? how do you still see that today? you can see it if you know what to look for, for i think it depends very much if you are from here. and maybe even though intuitively, you can also see it even, and the light of the bulk of the street lamp on the pattern of the sidewalk, whether you are in the east, on the west. also importantly, there is a kind of heritage which is more under society and not for much in the built environment so that they are still thing for clichy, if which are typically eve are typically west. but maybe if you're new, come to the 50. you don't notice them, and that's possibly a good thing. you know, that the difference was disappear. ah, it's been over 30 years since the fall of the wall. i wanted to understand, does east and west remain and issue to day?

patrice buddha, bella is berliner specifically west berlin and t. v. presenter. how would you describe yourself these days? berliner does eastern western matter to you. to me it actually does. but just like barely because like some people don't even know it. sometimes it's kind of i feel offended in ways one, sometimes i like travelling around with people and the asked me, so is this the east? and i'm wondering why would they think it's the east? although that we are in the west, so. busy because they're not really so familiar because so many things have been been billed or renovated within the last few decades. so of course i understand it's really hard to tell. you have some street signs which still indicates in which pods you are. it's very diverse, but also they are very chaotic and berlin. of course, it's not what it used to be like in the eighty's, which is not a bad thing, but we have to figure out if it's a good thing. ok. you

remember when the walk in was exciting, the thing is actually open. i actually live back in the back in the days and 89 i used to live in bedding, which was quite the area where both on the walk and it was really right of your neighborhood, yet it wasn't disabled in the way. and, and of course, it was shocking to a certain point and i already kind of felt like, well, i don't know if this turns out. well, it did turn well in some ways. but having after so many decades, still kind of an issue between an east and west. some not really talked about if you just go for all these political currents, for instance, you see that there's quite a gap between what people in the western part of germany are voting and some of what people in the, in the eastern part of or for so you can really tell that they're still kind of interesting. some people say that there's actually become more of

a divide recently that the debate about the differences in eastern west has increase and that it's important to recognize other people would say that with time, these things should of should have lessened by now. well, as i said, for my generation that use and with something it's still an issue isn't going to remain an issue. now it's, it's got to become something which is a global issue. it's going to be between that up and down. it's going to be between like wealthy and, and, and i was not, yeah, ah, said being a, grew up in east germany for her divisions and challenges remain when it comes to east and west. she shows us a picture of her 1st ever trip to the west, and once the war came down, she's written a book about the generation that grew up under those changes and challenges her generation. the history always ended in 1989 with the

people dancing on the wall and everyone is happy and then sort of unification. germany, boom, powerful country and that. but for us that the east germans, the 90s were still completely different than for the west germans, for the west, germans, everything continued as normal. that country just gotten a bit bigger. they had maybe more but unities to buy property or cat new jobs. but for us, everything was upside down. one of the issues the day still that you feel people have issues with being from east germany having been from east germany and do people still talk in the form of eastern life? yeah, totally. i would say even more than ever, and i notice it in myself. i never, i never wanted to be in the room and i just wanted to be a german. the meaning of the word has changed because you get stereotyped so much. it's germany, you, it's german. so you do that where your parents at this does he like to see for police or did you have enough to eat all these sort of stereotypes from the,

from the ninety's have changed. they're not there. they're not so crude anymore. the stereotype says little bit more elaborate, maybe i would say like you always in a position to explain yourself and to justify yourself because because you're from the bar, but i've often osland printed on the phone. so i was so minute i've, unless one of the that's pretty minor one particular what happened here, just over 30 years ago, this is significant. and exactly, so people were rushing to the border crossings like was in berlin like what this was. this was one of them, and they were just sending that sort of quietly and demanding to be let through. because this is for the conference. they said now immediately like they were

waiting, waiting and inside the authorities to policemen, the soldiers, they were like super nervous and not really knowing what was going on or what, what they should do. and they couldn't reach any of the bosses. so like around 930, i think they made this decision by themselves more or less to open the bridge and people were flying over into the western district of a wedding to start to show you. i don't know. it's like, it's like a really big event, and i'm really happy about that that, that happened. and that was part of my, my time the people made this happen. you know, piece will be like, not a single shot with hired. it's a big thing, you know, saw a german where didn't have too many people. resolutions off on friday that day. and i remember my parents being very excited of the so called

not the unification, but like something different. and i know it was in minority and like people in the info just for safety, the noise mark the unification. but not everyone was like that. and that was of course then said when there was a selection in march, it was decided that would be a relatively quick unification. not as quick as it then happened. brutal. yeah, i felt like i felt like a brutal stop. because then suddenly it was like clear that everything would be taken over from the, from, from west germany and nothing from the g d i was kept. and then with an idea in 1990, basically everything change, you know, even basic things like when they, when the dodge mark arrives everything the supermarkets change, you can find any, any product from the past any more. and not that you one love these old products so

much, but it was like a sort of like everything that was home suddenly changed. and in my school, the teachers disappeared because they were the started checkups and suddenly a while and the legacy remain strong. the says in the legacy, even after 30 years, remains very strong. now, you know, even now with this, this is also being being used to drive a competitive one could say, i mean, well, well, if you are an east german and you like want to have like a powerful position. also, you being checked, you know, there's a whole sort of chain of journalists who just sort of asked for files if there's anything you know, and the starting on the sogba file on the cell phone or in the face. anything. or it's already enough to have like to cast doubt. you know that you sort of like a super mater also. and then you know, your, your korea can be ruined. i mean,

so many people's careers have been burned in the ninety's, and i'm not, i'm not sort of justifying what the study did. i mean, not at all. i mean, people who wear and so on this and time other people of cause they shouldn't be in public position so so, but to do is also completely mean the whole system, the study inform those weren't the bad guy not just singularly the best guess. i mean, who were the people behind them? i mean, then the party. oh, so the whole, the whole functionary lead and they weren't prosecuted. but if you were, i'm lucky enough to had like sort of in your eighty's when you were 20. a couple of checks with the wrong person, this could destroy your career now. so what do you want your children? i suppose when they're older, to remember and to take away from this and maybe to teach their children. this is a 1st generation, i think we're, the east west conflict won't be so prevalent anymore. i mean, when i was growing up, they thought that my generation wouldn't be a topic anymore, but that was wrong to take much, much longer. but i want them to know, you know,

that already now in kindergarten and it's just a little bit that they get this. yeah, that sort of east germany, the g d. i was just sort of prism said basically. and the life was horrible. and i, i just want them to differentiate between the state and the private lives and just sort of tell them that, you know, it was much more complicated on a day to day to day basis. and that it's also something to be, to be proud of this sort of democrat, your legacy. ah, do you think your children will be affected still by the east west narrative? i think it's nice to be there for them, but already now i see unlike people who are like young like sort of like 30, maybe for them the concession emotional thing anymore. it's not sort of,

they don't have the feeling to justify certain things to. they don't have heard maybe an emotional legacy takes more than the pulling down of a room to heal. but berlin is moving forward. how did the demolition of the wall affect the infrastructure and the development of the city? let's say from, from then until now to where we are now. much of it actually has been become an opportunity for development of housing, which at the moment of awful folly needed. this is also a question of justification again, because these new buildings are very comparatively expensive. and that also means again, influx off new comers. so can afford the apartments to buy to own brothers actually also beautiful apartments here or building a completely different rent level. and all these words are clashing and that's why i see the gravity here, you know, so look at that. that may be also just tagging,

right? but also a statement of lead us as soon as the facade is newly painted, put the gravity on top, because i might keep the ramp down a bit longer. you know, let's, let's resist a bit. and the resistance against the cation is now everywhere in the city, where the influx of money meets, or it's in grown communities for that's the same case and for the fine, which was in quite back, which is west. i'm so that way if you, if you read this bill against my, against the change on the money but, but again, i want to also say that in principle, this is not a bad thing because of course we want the 50 to become nice. so we want you talk

to be fine and the city wants to collect more texas or maybe built more public transport. so all these things in principle are good. but what needs to happen that the citizens and the mobile protect us from the negative effects of that so that they do not get pushed out or that they can still it is possible to balance that and i think that needs a careful balance between yes of free markets building new apartments also for the people are more money. why not? but at the same time, the people who have always been here to balance that and also to regulate that the change of at least don't happen too quickly and that no one is left behind. i think that's the important thing. you spent a lot of your life here. us university here. you party. you went into the scott, sir, think we now you're helping plan the city moving ahead. like how do you feel about

the changes and where the city is today? and in general, i feel good about it because yeah, i have enough out your tool and i miss some of the old pioneer dentist. open creativity and and they, they affordability also. but at the same time, look, i don't know, we have a much better choice of rest. very much more international. we hear all kinds of language. and i thing, and i hope that that makes the city just richer. why not? less than 2000000 stuff along us to do nice still van, you know, just with their state for both. so i think that's me. ah,
