We are here in the area 1952: Stalin-Note.
This area was about a turning point
or supposed turning point
in German history in the early 1950s.
It was about a foreign policy direction;
Konrad Adenauer would like to anchor
the Federal Republic more firmly in the West,
both economically and militarily.
The issue at that time
was the European Defense Community,
where Germany should have joined.
In 1953 Stalin offers - with his Stalin-Notes -
a reunited, neutral Germany.
The Western Allies initially react somewhat
skeptically to this offer.
Konrad Adenauer, the chancellor at the time,
rejects it outright.
He feared that a neutralized all-Germany
would become a Germany under communist auspices.
This is also possible to see here.
In the background, you can see a film “The Red Flag” from 1968,
where students from West Berlin
carry a red flag through West Berlin,
namely from Steglitz to Schöneberg, which they
then unfurl on the balcony of Schöneberg City Hall.
And this example actually shows quite well
this great fear of what would happen
if Germany became communist.
The other picture in the possibility-space you can see
on the right is the facade, the teacher's house.
There you can see a large frieze by Walter Womacka,
where he tries to depict the ideal socialist society.
