The new publication Postwendekinder starts a conversation
The Palace of the Republic, once a center of state representation and cultural life in the GDR, became a subject of controversy and a symbol of the conflicts surrounding German reunification in the 1990s. Its demolition between 2006 and 2008 continues to spark controversial debates about memory and the question of whose voices are heard – not least within the Humboldt Forum.
What does the Palace mean to a generation that knows it largely through stories? And how has the legacy of the GDR shaped people born in the 1990s?
The publication of Postwendekinder. Für eine solidarische und gleichberechtigte deutsch-deutsche Zukunft invites us to explore these questions together.
With Dominique Falentin, one of the curators of the exhibition Blown Away (on view at the Humboldt Forum in 2024/25), and Julius L. Jung, who has a background in cultural studies, we will discuss their perspectives on the Palace of the Republic. Together with Angelique Pershon, editor of Postwendekinder, and another contributor to the volume, we will ask why it remains important, thirty-six years after reunification, to talk about the identities of young people in Germany today.
We invite the audience to reflect, contribute, and join the discussion.
Moderated by Dr. Judith Prokasky, Humboldt Forum Foundation.

Dominique Falentin
Dominique Falentin is an art historian. In 2019, she wrote her master’s thesis on the Palace of the Republic in the context of memory culture, analyzing the topic through the lens of various exhibitions. From 2022 to 2025, she was part of the exhibition and program team for Blown Away: The Palace of the Republic at the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss. This past spring, an essay by her was published in the book Postwendekinder. Für eine solidarische und gleichberechtigte deutsche-deutsche Zukunft. Since May 2026, she has been working in reading promotion and public relations at the Kinder- und Jugendbibliothek Spandau (Children’s and Youth Library Spandau).
Julius L. Jung
Julius L. Jung studied American Studies and German Literature (BA in October 2025) and engages with the reappraisal of East and West German history. Originally from Upper Franconia – a West German region located along the former inner-German border – he has lived in Berlin for the past ten years. In 2024, together with fellow students, he developed the intervention Palastkonsulat für Erinnerungen und Objekte (“Palace Consulate for Memories and Objects”) at the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss as part of a seminar led by Daniel Tyradellis at the Helmholtz Centre for Cultural Techniques. The project explored the significance of the Palace of the Republic for German-German history. He currently works as a Junior Project Manager at BAND (Business Angels Deutschland e.V.).
