Studies in German History (LSA /FSP, in German)

Undergraduate

More than any other German city, Berlin encapsulates Germany's complex recent past. From the Brandenburg Gate to the Olympic Stadium, from the Wannsee to Alexanderplatz, every corner of the capital evokes memories of industrialization, Nazi rule, World War II, Cold War divisions, re-unification, multiple waves of migration, and struggles for equality and justice. This course addresses these aspects of German history and cultural memory and complements their in-depth study with site visits. (in German)
