Gysi and Diestel. Two lawyers, two trained cattle breeders. Two from the East who moved to the West. Two from politics. One left-wing, the other conservative: Gysi was the last SED chairman and a leading figure in the Left Party, Diestel the last interior minister of the GDR, then a CDU representative in Brandenburg, and later independent.

Peter-Michael Diestel & Gregor Gysi
In conversations, they unfold recent German history, which is closely intertwined with their own, and look at a united Germany – both critically and optimistically. In doing so, they relive that wild period after 1989, when the unexpected became reality: Much changed, but contradictions remain.
The evening will be moderated by the book's editor, author and journalist Hans-Dieter Schütt.
