We’re on a SUMMER BREAK, so we’re re releasing this episode, originally published on March 26, 2024. It’s one of our favourites and many listeners missed it the first time around. We’ll be back with new episodes in September.

Season 3, episode 5 of our six-part series The New Germany with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody is about the fact that Germany's society has changed - and not just in terms of its identity. Both external and internal influences, such as demographic shifts, globalization, geopolitical crises, and immigration, influence lifestyles and societal life. In addition, the German division and reunification have shaped regional differences within the population. How has the societal life in Germany changed? What effects and challenges does society face today? Is German society more polarised? And how can a common basis for living together be created?

Guest: Jagoda Marinić, Author and Political Commentator
