The social market economy has served as a fundamental pillar of post-war Germany. Today, it is associated with the European welfare state. Initially, it meant the opposite. Rebuilding Germany examines the 1948 West German economic reforms that dismantled the Nazi command economy and ushered in the fabled 'European Miracle' of the 1950s. Van Hook evaluates the US role in German reconstruction, the problematic relationship of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his economics minister, Ludwig Erhard, the West German 'economic miracle', and the extent to which the social market economy represented a departure from the German past. In a nuanced and fresh account, Van Hook evaluates the American role in West German recovery and the debates about economic policy within West Germany, to show that Germans themselves had surprising room to shape their economic and industrial system.

In 1945 Germany's cities lay in ruins, destroyed by Allied bombers `hat left major architectural monuments badly damaged and much of the housing stock reduced to rubble. At the war's end, observers thought that it would take forty years to rebuild, but by the late 1950s West Germany's cities had risen anew. The housing crisis had been overcome and virtually all important monuments reconstructed, and the cities had reclaimed their characteristic identities. Everywhere there was a mixture of old and new: historic churches and town halls stood alongside new housing and department stores; ancient street layouts were crossed or encircled by wide arteries; old city centers were balanced by garden suburbs laid out according to modern planning principles. In this book, Diefendorf examines the questions raised by this remarkable feat of urban reconstruction. He explains who was primarily responsible, what accounted for the speed of rebuilding, and how priorities were set and decisions acted upon. He argues that in such crucial areas as architectural style, urban planning, historic preservation, and housing policy, the Germans drew upon personnel, ideas, institutions, and practical experiences from the Nazi and pre-Nazi periods. Diefendorf shows how the rebuilding of West Germany's cities after 1945 can only be understood in terms of long-term continuities in urban development.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject History of Germany - Postwar Period, Cold War, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Zwickau (Fakultät Sprachen), language: English, abstract: There are very few times in history when a country got itself to a place of economic wealth like post-war Germany. From being a threshold country in the 19th century to becoming the most important nation economically in Western Europe, Germany has a history that is not only very interesting but also not all as fancy and sparkling as it seems. This paper will give you a short timeline of the key events that happened in the German economic history between 1945 and 1973 that lead to the success of the nation. You will see that most of the miracle was made possible only with the help of the United States and that the economic growth was not exclusive to Germany. In the end, you will find multiple approaches that all do their bit to explain why Germany and other countries in Western Europe were able to get this massive economic boom.

Americans may not recognize his name, but the actions of Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Germany's foreign minister from 1974-1989, have had an enormous impact on the world we live in today. In this sweeping memoir, Genscher illuminates such seminal events as the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, the dismantling of the Eastern Bloc, and the creation of the European Union. From the perspective of the ultimate insider, Genscher describes the thawing of the Cold War--including his own behind-the-scenes conversations with Mikhail Gorbachev and other world leaders; the strategies he developed that led to the emotionally charged demolition of the Berlin Wall; and the heated meetings between international leaders as the face of Europe changed. His candid portraits of Reagan, Thatcher, Mitterand, and Gorbachev, and his eyewitness accounts of what really goes on behind closed doors, show a side of international affairs rarely seen by the American public. A number-one bestseller in Germany, "Rebuilding a House Divided is must reading for anyone interested in politics, diplomacy, and the complex relationship between the United States and Europe.

This landmark book is the first comprehensive account of the lives of the Jews who remained in Germany immediately following the war. Gathering never-before-published eyewitness accounts from Holocaust survivors, Michael Brenner presents a remarkable history of this period. While much has been written on the Holocaust itself, until now little has been known about the fate of those survivors who remained in Germany. Jews emerging from concentration camps would learn that most of their families had been murdered and their communities destroyed. Furthermore, all Jews in the country would face the stigma of living, as a 1948 resolution of the World Jewish Congress termed it, on "bloodsoaked German soil." Brenner brings to life the psychological, spiritual, and material obstacles they surmounted as they rebuilt their lives in Germany. At the heart of his narrative is a series of fifteen interviews Brenner conducted with some of the most important witnesses who played an active role in the reconstruction--including presidents of Jewish communities, rabbis, and journalists. Based on the Yiddish and German press and unpublished archival material, the first part of this book provides a historical introduction to this fascinating topic. Here the author analyzes such diverse aspects as liberation from concentration camps, cultural and religious life among the Jewish Displaced Persons, antisemitism and philosemitism in post-war Germany, and the complex relationship between East European and German Jews. A second part consists of the fifteen interviews, conducted by Brenner, with witnesses representing the diverse background of the postwar Jewish community. While most of them were camp survivors, others returned from exile or came to Germany as soldiers of the Jewish Brigade or with international Jewish aid organizations. A third part, which covers the development of the Jewish community in Germany from the 1950s until today, concludes the book.

Through an examination of election campaign propaganda and various public relations campaigns, reflecting new electioneering techniques borrowed from the United States, this work explores how conservative political and economic groups sought to construct and sell a political meaning of the Social Market Economy and the Economic Miracle in West Germany during the 1950s.The political meaning of economics contributed to conservative electoral success, constructed a new belief in the free market economy within West German society, and provided legitimacy and political stability for the new Federal Republic of Germany.

"This book, written by Norman Foster with invited contributions from others, is the architectural study of the new Reichstag. It is published almost exactly ten years after the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and fifty years after the foundation of the Bundestag in September 1949." "Norman Foster discusses the design, evolution and construction of the building, highlighting the architectural, environmental and symbolic ideas that underlie the project. This discourse is punctuated with "interludes" by outside voices who offer complementary viewpoints. They discuss the Reichstag's place in the past and the future, the memories of ordinary people whose lives have been caught up in its dramatic past, the conservation of the marks of history on the building, and its design in the context of other parliaments." "These texts are illustrated with archive photographs, new photographic material from Rudi Meisel and others and Norman Foster's sketches and drawings. This material charts the transformation of the Reichstag from a grim relic of the past to an optimistic symbol of German democracy and European unity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
