20. Jahrhundert: 1945 bis heute | Nachkriegszeit
Foundation: Double Statehood
In 1949, two German states were founded: the Federal Rebublic of Germany in the West and the German Democratic Republic in the East. Both claim to represent the whole of Germany, yet they go their separate ways: in the FRG, the CDU/CSU wins the elections to the first Bundestag, its leader Konrad Adenauer being the first Federal Chancellor. In the GDR, political bodies are dominated by SED politicians right from the start. Otto Grotewohl, chairman of the SED, becomes the first prime minister, Wilhelm Pieck the first President. However, neither of the two young states is sovereign. Government business continues to be supervised and monitored by the victorious powers. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
