Summary/Abstract: Chancellor Scholz euphorically announced a “Zeitenwende” (lit. turn of the times, change of eras). He cited Russia’s war against Ukraine as the reason for this. The hastily formulated strategy approach of this is to be critically and realistically questioned. In view of the ambivalent development of Germany in the past and the foreseeable future, the result is open. Analytical realism and a European peace order instead of war are necessary.
