Generation Borderless? Gen Z between East and West
Prejudices and clichés about East and West Germany continue to shape parts of society. How does this affect Generation Z, who only know about the division of Germany from stories? Seven women and men aged 21 to 28 - representing Generation Z - offer an insight into the mindset and everyday life of a generation that is growing up in a time when the East-West conflict, political radicalization and social upheaval are more relevant than ever. The focus is on three subject areas: family and identity, business and career, and politics and social engagement.

Seasons & Episodes
1. Folge 1: Aufwachsen in Ost und West (S01/E01)
Lilly, Maurice, Katharina, Celine and Duc belong to Generation Z. They were born in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Nevertheless, the former German-German division plays a role for the young people. For example, when Lilly from Lower Saxony is called a "Wessi" in Halle (Saale). Or when Maurice from Saxony-Anhalt talks about "Ossis" in his environment. For Katharina, the topic has been omnipresent since her childhood: her parents moved from West Germany to East Germany before she was born and never really settled in. Duc from Chemnitz, on the other hand, struggles with another question of identity: is he more Vietnamese or German?
