Description
Summary:Abstract This paper examines new options regarding interdisciplinary perspectives on the history of economic reconstructions in post socialist Eastern Germany after 1990, mostly connected to the muchdebated Treuhandanstalt (Trusteeship Agency). By discussing different narratives, a brief, abstract framework is presented by highlighting longterm structural changes, shortterm disruptions, midterm dynamics as well as framing cultural reflections on an individual or collective level. These patterns could help to build heuristic bridges between different disciplines (like social sciences, economics, or history) in this re-emerging scientific area and to embed this research in broader themes on a European or even global scale.
