Crucial Views on the German Reunification of 3 Octomber 1990

Summary/Abstract: Authors of this paper are examining the premises that lead to the historical event of the German reunification (deutsche Wiedervereinigung) of 1990 and simultaneously contemplate on contemporary implications. History could help to grasp the informal and official interaction of top politicians who worked for or against the German unity. Therefore, it can be thought provoking to review according to newly published works how the masterwork of the German unity was carried out and what where the main effects for the newGerman society? Approach of the authors is a simple one: it is summarised andreviewed what certain key-actors as former Chancellor Kohl and Foreign Minister Hans Dietrich Genscher have written about themselves (autobiography) and others have written about them (biography). Additional study concerns editions with primary sources and otherevidences related to the peaceful revolution and German unification of 1990.
