Thirty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, German reunification has many faces. Some are visible \u2013 in figures, structures and privileges. Others are hidden in biographies, attitudes and language patterns. And still others only reveal themselves in subtle moments of misunderstanding or irritation in everyday working life.<\/p>\n

In organisations, we often encounter these experiences: as unspoken differences in leadership styles, as tensions within teams, as silent questions about belonging, being seen or power.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What does it mean to go through life and organisations with an East or West biography? What traces have ruptures, transformations and different starting conditions left behind \u2013 in our self-image, in our forms of communication, in what is considered \u201enormal\u201c?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

oe-tag 2025 <\/h4>

The oe-tag 2025<\/b> invites you to join in a search for clues:<\/p>\n

????<\/span> A day when personal stories are given space.<\/p>\n

????<\/span> A day to explore subtle differences \u2013 or to discover connections where we expected differences<\/p>\n

????<\/span> A day on which we approach the complexity of origin, belonging and change with openness and respect.<\/p>\n

Together, we explore what it takes for organisations to become places where diversity does not divide but unites. And what we can learn \u2013 from the diversity of East and West German experiences \u2013 for the future of solidarity and coexistence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

On Friday, Lykke Langer will be offering a workshop at oe-tag.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

On the eve of oe-day: <\/b><\/h1>\n

An autobiographical theatrical journey <\/b><\/h2>\n

A production by FEINE ESSENZ AG (Leipzig)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

WINTERKIND is an autobiographical solo theatre performance that tells the story of growing up in the GDR system and the consequences that are still felt today. <\/b>The production captivates with its extraordinary interweaving of past and present in animated and AI-generated videos as well as audio art pieces, in which contemporary witnesses also have their say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lykke Langer plays herself as a solo performer.<\/b>: distant and very close, ironic, tragic, bitter, funny, punk \u2013 but never preachy!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Open-air caf\u00e9 \u2013 Coffee on Fire<\/h4>

\u201cWe are a small group with a keen interest in people and a great love of good coffee \u2013 and an old fire engine that we have converted into a mobile open-air caf\u00e9. On board: a beautiful old portafilter machine, a small selection of games and literature, and an assortment of fine coffee specialities and hot drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we show up, we create a space for people to linger and exchange ideas \u2013 with open discussions and a spirit of solidarity. Our coffee is not only invigorating, but also political: we use your donations to support left-wing projects, social movements and anti-fascist work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Come by, have an espresso, latte or tea with us \u2013 and see for yourself. Coffee is not neutral \u2013 and that's a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"Generation Z(ukunft) Ost - New perspectives on East German identities\u201c<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

How do young people experience eastern Germany today?<\/p>\n

In this workshop, we focus on the perspectives of Generation Z: What experiences shape them? Why are questions of origin, identity and belonging coming back into focus?<\/p>\n

Together, we are opening up a space for intergenerational exchange \u2013 and creating connections between different East German realities and self-perceptions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Lisa Trebs<\/h4>

Lisa Trebs (born in 1997) was born and raised south of Leipzig and now lives in Bonn. She studied cultural studies and international politics (BA) as well as development studies (MA) in Denmark, France, South Korea and the United Kingdom. It was only through experiences outside the East that she discovered her East German identity and developed a desire to shape other perspectives on the East. Together with Vanessa Beyer, she launched \u201e(K)Einheit\u201c as a film project in 2022. She is now committed to making young East German voices visible through the initiative.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home is more than a place: childhood worlds between East and West<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

How did we experience home \u2013 or homelessness?<\/p>\n

In this workshop, we explore how ideological systems, education and the spirit of the times shaped our upbringing in the East or West. Which values remain with us to this day? Which structures shaped our thinking and feeling?<\/p>\n

Using psychodrama methods, we immerse ourselves in personal memories in a moving and lively way. Through dialogue about influences, breaks and transformations, space is created for new insights and connections \u2013 between stories, generations and experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Lykke Langer<\/h4>

What are the stories behind the stories we tell ourselves? The things that are left unsaid, perhaps because they cannot be said? Lykke Langer's work revolves around the careful disclosure of this subtle essence in order to enable communication and understanding. She comes from Leipzig and works as a performer, director and author for theatre and radio, most recently creating the production \u201eWINTERKIND \u2013 Made in GDR\u201c, in which she recounts her upbringing in the GDR. In recent years, Lykke has come to love working with groups in a playful, lively and profound way, combining her experience in theatre and non-violent communication with her psychodrama work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is cohesion all about?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The workshop is a search for connectable open ends around the topic of \u201ecohesion in the GDR\u201c. What of this is myth, ideology or nostalgia, and what has substance that could still be relevant today? We delve into two phenomena through dialogue, biography and philosophy:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
