dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the process of remembering and reevaluating the architectural legacy of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the context of collective memory. The study aims to understand the influence of spatial design on collective memory and the extent to which GDR architecture and interior design find a place in public discourse. The research investigates the post-reunification development of the collective memory of the GDR, focusing on non-residential buildings that have the potential for collective memory. The historical and stylistic classification of GDR architecture provides a context for analyzing the treatment of GDR architecture after reunification. While interior design has been found to have limited visibility in the discourse, a collection of GDR interior design elements is presented to highlight characteristic features. The current condition of the buildings is assessed, considering the degree of resemblance to the original design. The study acknowledges its limitations in fully exploring the influence of interior design and suggests further avenues of research for a comprehensive understanding of the architectural legacy of the GDR. Keywords: German Democratic Republic, GDR architecture, collective memory, spatial design, interior design, post-reunification, heritage protectionen
