The New Germany, S03E04: Made in Germany: Industry and Deindustrialisation
03/11/24 • 48 min
Season 3, episode 4 of our six-part series The New Germany with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody explores the ups and downs of Germany's economic history. After the Second World War, the country faced the ruins of its industry and infrastructure. This was followed by the so-called 'economic miracle' and the emergence of Germany as one of the world's leading economies. However, the economic success of the 20th century has not protected Germany from the challenges of the present. What factors and events have had a lasting impact on German economic history? And can the economic lessons of the past contribute to a prosperous future for Germany?
Guest: Monika Schnitzer, Chairwoman of the German Council of Economic Experts
What is the state of German democracy 100 years after the first crisis of the Weimar Republic? Is German democracy better able to deal with crises and problems today? What experiences and lessons has Germany learned under different chancellors? And how has German democracy dealt with extremism in society? Our popular special series returns for Season 3.
As hosts, historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody set out to find some answers. Together with their expert guests, they are looking into Germany's past and present to see what the future might hold for Europe's largest democracy.

History in the Age of Disinformation
History was always a weapon in modern politics. Those who wanted to shape the future knew that it was important to take control over the interpretation of the past. Manipulating visual material emotionally telling the story of historic moments is an approach that is old as the tradition of writing history itself. But does the new quantity and quality of deep faked history in the world wide web lead us into times where fact and fiction cannot be separated from each other anymore, when telling stories of our past? For our March episode we met Jason Steinhauer, founder of the History Communication Institute, to discuss the new quality of manipulating historical narratives in times of deep fake technology.

Season 3, episode 5 of our six-part series The New Germany with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody is about the fact that Germany's society has changed - and not just in terms of its identity. Both external and internal influences, such as demographic shifts, globalization, geopolitical crises, and immigration, influence lifestyles and societal life. In addition, the German division and reunification have shaped regional differences within the population. How has the societal life in Germany changed? What effects and challenges does society face today? Is German society more polarised? And how can a common basis for living together be created?
