Season 2, episode 6 of our seven-part series The New Germany with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody is about German Politics in Flux: How exactly has the party landscape in Germany changed in recent decades? How well equipped are the German parties for the future? How do the power relations between and within the parties work? What does this mean for the democratic self-image of the parties? And what does it mean for the democratic order?

Guest: ** Melanie Amann **, Head of the Spiegel Berlin Office

One year of Zeitenwende – what has or has not changed in Germany? How is Germany perceived on the international stage? And why is everyone talking about the need for a grand strategy? The popular special series is back with season 2. What events have shaped Germany during this watershed year, where is it headed, and how does a look at history help us understand these changes?

As hosts, historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody set out to find some answers. Together with their expert guests, they will be looking into Germany's past and present to see what the future may hold for Europe's largest democracy.

„The whole social debate will culminate much more in the next months. During the first year after the Russian invasion the German society was kind of pulling along and the Green Party was pulling along but now it’s like a slow awakening to the reality and doubt is beginning to sweep in into the Green movement and all the parts of society which are very prone to a peace position. They are getting more active.“
