To this day, the “Treuhand” is held responsible for the trauma of the reunification period. The agency was established in 1990 by the government of the GDR to privatise East German publicly owned enterprises. The initial elation quickly evaporated: Job losses, company bankruptcies and the desolation of entire regions still characterize the post-reunification feeling in the East today. Did the Treuhand fail, or was the painful liquidation of the GDR economy unavoidable?
