Eyewitness Ronald Schreyer to Share Inner-German Border Experiences in Wesel
Join us for a captivating lecture on October 7, 2023, at the VHS in Wesel. From 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM, Ronald Schreyer will share his personal experiences and insights into the inner-German border, with a focus on the Marienborn border crossing.
Schreyer, who successfully crossed the border twice in 1988, will delve into the daily life of both border guards and the population in the restricted area. He will also discuss the structures of the Marienborn border crossing and the broader context of the GDR's border regime. The lecture, titled 'The Border and the Restricted Area of the GDR: The Case of the Marienborn Border Crossing', requires no registration and is free to attend.
Schreyer's story is one of courage and resilience. After his expulsion, he risked his life twice to enable his family's escape to the Federal Republic. His first border crossing from West Germany is not mentioned in available sources.
