Our event series “Beyond Borders: Drawing, Breaking, Shifting” at BERLIN GLOBAL returns for its third edition. This time, we invite you to a reading from “Niewiedervereinigung: 100 Interjections on German Reunification” with author Paula Fürstenberg.
What is it about?
Paula Fürstenberg reflects on German reunification from the perspective of a generation that grew up after the fall of the Wall. In the euphoria surrounding reunification, people were promised prosperity and a brighter future. Yet for many in eastern Germany, reality was shaped by unemployment, migration and far-right violence. Drawing on her own biography, which begins during the so-called “baseball bat years”, Fürstenberg examines the blind spots in Germany’s dominant reunification narrative. Her book views reunification not only as a democratic success story, but also as a turning point that coincided with the rise of a new nationalism and increasing far-right violence.
The event will be moderated by journalist and author Nhi Le. The event will take place in German.
What’s Coming Up:
Thursday, 12 November 2026, 6:30 pm
1989 as a Mandate: Missed Opportunities, New Perspectives
A discussion in cooperation with the Berlin Commissioner for the Reappraisal of the SED Dictatorship (BAB)
Participants
Paula Fürstenberg
Paula Fürstenberg (born 1987) grew up in Potsdam and studied at the Swiss Literary Institute and Humboldt University in Berlin. Following her debut novel, “Familie der geflügelten Tiger” (2016), she published “Weltalltage” in 2024. Recipient of numerous literary grants and fellowships, she also works as a curator, educator, editor and member of various artistic collectives. In 2026, she served on the jury of the International Literature Prize. Her new book, “Niewiedervereinigung: 100 Zwischenrufe zur deutschen Einheit”, will be published in September 2026. She lives in Berlin and spends her summers in Brandenburg.
Nhi Le
Nhi Le is a journalist, presenter and author. Her work focuses on media criticism, popular culture, politics and the immigration society of eastern Germany, particularly the Vietnamese diaspora. She has published reports, essays and contributions to the CPPD exhibition “Nước Đức. Vietnamese-German Migration Histories”, exploring the experiences of Vietnamese contract workers and subsequent generations. “Die ZEIT” named her one of the 100 most influential young East Germans, and in 2021 “Medium Magazin” included her in its “Top 30 under 30” list. To mark the 35th anniversary of German reunification, she delivered a widely noted commentary on the television news programme “Tagesthemen”.
