The Comeback of the DDR

Gerd Glaser, a veteran journalist in search of a fundamental career change, makes the cold leap from west to east, specifically to Brandenburg. There, amazing things happen both in the editorial office and in the context of political events. West German envy, East German work ethic and a thirst for medals reveal the enduring mentality of the GDR. Glaser offends, reveals and is amazed. What should he do? Go back to Munich? Or stay, wonder and continue working? He decides to stay. The topics of a shift to the right, migration and, not least, the war in Ukraine determine his journalistic routine, where the author also makes his observations and draws his own conclusions.
