In this interview, she talks about her motivation and the significance that the topic still has today \u2013 for people and organisations.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<h4>Why is this topic so important to you that it is being addressed at an oe-tag?<\/h4>\n<p>I could write a really long essay on this topic. For one thing, there are biographical references for me. Born in West Berlin, the categories of East and West have been present and significant in my life, always associated with strong emotions and curiosity. In my childhood and youth, the East had something mysterious about it for me, present and visible, but still closed off. During my student days, I had a flatmate from Karl-Marx-Stadt, whom I pestered a lot during our time together in order to understand the differences in our attitudes to life. I didn't get very far at the time. Perhaps because it was still too close for my flatmate at the time. And I was too insensitive to ask the right questions.<\/p>\n<p>The issue only really caught up with me again 20 years later, when I was living and working in Germany again after a long period abroad. I remember very clearly when, as an organisational consultant, I first understood in a one-on-one conversation in a charged situation within an organisation that deep conflicts and resentments in a team that did not feel seen, valued or adequately paid were also linked to deeper layers involving East and West biographies, experiences of loss of social status in the wake of reunification, and insensitive handling of clear differences in rank within the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>It slowly dawned on me that I myself had not noticed how strongly the East-West dimension still shapes many social situations \u2013 in terms of quick classification and orientation (\u201care you from the East or the West?\u201d), hasty attributions and categorisations, and experiences of belonging and alienation.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of 2024, Bea Schramm and I organised a four-hour workshop at SOCIUS on the topic of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/socius.de\/en\/ost-west\/\">East-West in organisations<\/a>\u201dWhat emerged from the discussions that afternoon opened up a whole new dimension for me \u2013 one that also touched me deeply: there were so many raw and rarely openly expressed feelings in the room (as one participant said at the time: \u201cI have never been in a place with other people where the focus was explicitly on personal experiences in the context of East-West!\u201d). I was particularly struck by statements that had to do with how difficult it still is to put into words the factual differences, the experience of being judged or not being treated as an equal. Whether it is because one's own experience of pain is perceived as too minor to make East German identity an issue, or because one does not want to be seen as a \u201cwhining Ossi\u201d. And that people who were socialised in the West have also had painful experiences of exclusion.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 1-2 years, I feel like a lot has happened in terms of public discourse on East-West socialisation and experiences. There have been many publications, books, workshops and podcasts recently. And yet, I still have the impression that there is so much more to say!<\/p>\n<h4>Where does the question of \u201ebiographies East and West\u201c come to life in organisations today?<\/h4>\n<p>The situation that arose in many areas after reunification, whereby management was largely socialised in West Germany while the teams tended to be from East Germany, has certainly softened over the last decade \u2013 and yet it can still be observed in some areas. But I think that overall, it is very nuanced, diverse and also ambivalent. East and West as categories are often not sufficient. Various categories of diversity now overlap here: generational differences, gender and influences based on supposed \u201cclass differences\u201d. However, I do perceive differences in leadership and communication styles between East and West, for example.<\/p>\n<h4>And what makes it difficult to talk about sometimes?<\/h4>\n<p>I think we live in a time and often operate in social and meaning-driven organisations in a field where people are predominantly sensitised to issues of privilege, discrimination and racism. I believe that the dimension of East German versus West German socialisation is sometimes not considered important enough to be addressed. We are still not very good at finding the words to describe something that is usually very subtle. And speaking from my own experience, I would say that people who have been socialised in West Germany \u2013 as is so often the case in the context of privilege \u2013 are largely unaware that the same situation can feel different to someone who has been socialised in East Germany. That there may be biographical differences, e.g. in one's own educational background, in the effects of how one's own family was affected by the transformations of the reunification period (or during the GDR era, whether they took advantage of freedoms or were forced to conform) and how they processed these, which still have an impact on the here and now.<\/p>\n<h4>What would you be particularly happy about on oe-day?<\/h4>\n<p>I would be delighted if at least as many participants from western Germany, brimming with curiosity, found their way to Halle as those from eastern Germany. After all, the ultimate goal is exchange and dialogue, embarking on a journey together, sharing stories, and discovering similarities and differences. And I would be delighted if, at the end of the day, many participants said: I met exciting new people and learned a lot of new things!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Why are you in Halle this year? And will the annual oe-tag now travel more frequently?<\/h4>\n<p>It was obvious that we needed to move away from our Berlin-centric perspective on this topic, which is naturally influenced by the location of our office and our field of activity and networking. But if we want to understand something about German-German history, we have to leave the \u201ccapital city bubble\u201d behind. It is a pleasure to experience during the preparations what new opportunities arise from being in a completely different location: The distances are more manageable, the contacts more direct and personal. My colleague, Lysan, who lives in Halle, seems to be personally acquainted with almost all the interesting people in the region ????: from the bookshop we are involving, to the coffee fire engine that will supply us with good coffee, to exciting local speakers. I hope we can bring together long-time oe-tags visitors with completely new people who haven't found their way to us yet! If the response is positive, we'll be happy to travel to another location next time!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_divider et_pb_space et_pb_divider_position_top et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_1 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module btn-petrol\" href=\"\">Subscribe to SOCIUS brief<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_10 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_image_4 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_block_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/socius.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Socius_Logo-linksbuendig-e1663770875539-1.png\" width=\"289\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socius.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Socius_Logo-linksbuendig-e1663770875539-1.png 289w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" class=\"wp-image-32690\" title=\"change essentials\" alt=\"change essentials\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module btn-green\" href=\"https:\/\/socius.mymemberspot.de\/auth\/register?offerid=UPqDVTz5YHUDtbAoAHIL&#038;offername=SOCIUS%20change%20essentials%20\" target=\"_blank\">Register for free<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Discover practical tips for self-organised work in our free online course, the SOCIUS change essentials.
