Zwei Staaten, zwei Verfassungen, eine Ausbürgerung: Der (Rechts-)Fall Biermann
In the organizer's words:
The German-German border was also a border between two constitutional orders. A confusing situation prevailed in the area of citizenship law in divided Germany: the Federal Republic considered all citizens of the GDR to be "Germans within the meaning of the Basic Law", while the SED government worked intensively from the early 1960s onwards to introduce a separate GDR citizenship. The themed tour deals with selected aspects of German constitutional history after 1949 and poses questions about the citizenship status of the famous singer-songwriter who was "expelled to his homeland": Did Wolf Biermann have to be naturalized after moving to the GDR in 1953? How many passports did he have? What legal and administrative consequences did he face after his expatriation in 1976? Did he become stateless after his GDR citizenship was revoked?
