Divided Landscapes, Divided Peoples: An Archaeology of the Iron Curtain Between Czechoslovakia and Western Germany

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Communist totalitarian countries in postwar Europe faced the same problem, with citizens who wished to leave the ‘paradise of working people by illegally crossing the border. The most dramatic situation emerged in Eastern Germany, where immigration in the period before erection of the Berlin Wall nearly emptied the country. Despite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948, where all communist countries present abstained, the Iron Curtain started taking physical shape in the early 1950s. The military barriers that were erected marked thousands of kilometers of the border between the Eastern and Western block. In this volume, a study of a 10 km long section of the Czechoslovak and West German frontier is presented where well preserved traces of four developmental phases of barbed-wire fences and other obstacles were documented, as well as ruins of the Border Guards’ company base and other remains. An analysis of the contemporary garbage heaps provided an in-depth perspective on the everyday life of conscripted soldiers on the Cold War frontline (Chapter 9).
