Abstract

In the period of cold war Western Germans could not be prevented from establishing social contacts with colleagues in socialist countries. In the long run, exterior barriers could not endanger firmly established connections based on tolerance and respect. The author’s report deals with the developing relations to Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and even with the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic from the late fifties to the turning-point about 1990, when the great change began.
