This is because the relationship between East and West is still part of the public debate: There is successful coexistence and a sense of community as well as many misunderstandings and irritations. For some people, including younger people, the question of a separate East German identity arises. Others, like the Federal President, say that we are "much more than East and West". Where will we be in 2024, also as a Faculty of Theology in Erfurt, when we look at East and West in Germany? This will be discussed at this "Dies academicus". As a special guest, the Faculty welcomes Dr h.c. Wolfgang Thierse, former President of the German “Bundestag”.
