KulturAbend: Gespräche über Ostdeutsche Identität

In the organizer's words:

What does it mean to grow up in the East after reunification? And why is it so rarely talked about honestly? YouTube star and SPIEGEL bestselling author Alexander Prinz, known as "Der Dunkle Parabelritter", gives his generation a powerful voice in his new book "Oststolz". Growing up in a village of 800 people in Saxony-Anhalt after reunification, he tells of poverty, adventures and a youth caught between a dead end and a thirst for the future.

With a clear view and a lot of personal reference, he talks about the "invisible wall" that can still be felt in the everyday lives of many East Germans more than 30 years after reunification - and about what pride in one's origins can look like without tipping over into backward-looking nostalgia. "Oststolz" is biographical, political and poignant. An analysis of society, a passionate plea for a new self-image - and a call to the post-reunification generation to be proud of their own East German biography. And to make something of it before the wrong people do.
