… nicht verfasst werden – 1989–2017. Vom Runden Tisch zur Volksgesetzgebung in Berlin«

Discussion and presentation of the new journal »Berliner Hefte zu Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt #5 (Berlin journals on the history and present state of the city #5): Zur Verfassung – Recherchen, Dokumente 1989–2017«

The discussion will recall the various attempts made to create a Berlin Constitution. in 1989/90 the Democracy Movement’s ideas on a written set of rights were formulated at the GDR’s »Runde Tische« (engl. Round Tables). Today citizens groups try to pass laws through referendums. We will discuss how the current urban political situation can be related to the previous experience made by citizens’ movements and initiatives. The discussion will be moderated by this journal’s publishers Elske Rosenfeld, Kerstin Meyer und Joerg Franzbecker.
