For those studying Pearson Edexcel’s A level Option 2 ‘The German Democratic Republic, 1949–90’ and similar modules, Anglia has developed a fully-guided tour to Berlin which examines life in the ‘socialist nation-state of workers and peasants’ better known as East Germany.
Visits will examine social change and welfare programmes, including housing, education and the changing status and role of women; repression and control, exploring the Ministry of State Security (the Stasi), its methods and activities; control of young people through the Free German Youth (FDJ); propaganda and censorship; the extent of popular support for the GDR; the SED and the Protestant churches; Western influences on the GDR, including Willy Brandt and the impact of Ostpolitik; economic stagnation in the 1980s, the end of the GDR and the collapse of the SED government in 1989 and the reunification of East and West Germany.
