- W3100983351 abstract "On a warm October afternoon in Leipzig, a hunched-over figure sits in the shadow of the monumental plastic sculpture “Aufbruch” (“Beginning”), a legacy of socialist realism that depicts a group of people struggling to move forward, as if awakening to political consciousness. Heike is tense; she gazes fixedly down at the ground, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. She is brooding on her quarter-century in the SED as a student and then professor here at Karl-Marx Universität—now, in 1991, again called Leipzig University. “Nie wieder,” repeats Heike. “Never again.” Never would she join the reconstituted SED, now called the PDS. Never again would she join any party or movement, of whatever political stripe. She is not quoting the campaign slogan used by the CDU in March 1990—already a bygone era—but is simply expressing a personal statement. Politics holds no interest for her. Her experience in the SED has disillusioned her toward—or, as she says, “inoculated” her against—party and ideological appeals. Permanently. “I have learned my lesson,” Heike says. Looking up, she follows my gaze to the grotesque socialist realist sculpture, remarking that, since the Wende in 1989, she has been looking at it with a new eye. Across the courtyard stands a much older sculpture: a towering statue of Leibniz. Heike turns to it, deliberately, as if appealing to the wise old Leipzig professor—indeed to the classical spirit of the Enlightenment itself—for guidance and support. I’m still thinking about the marches that brought down the SED regime and East Germany itself, only two Octobers ago. Just a few yards beyond Leibniz is the sacred spot where the already historic marches arose and the “We are The People” chants against the Honecker regime began. Heike, 46, a wissenschaftliche Assistentin (lecturer) in Slavic literature at the University, speaks in soft German—entirely free of Americanisms, unlike the speech of most West Germans—about her decades in the Party. Pale yet animated, her face is vital with expression, if lined with years; like many eastern German women, she wears no makeup." @default.
