Komplexitaet und Systemisches Denken lautet der Titel des vorliegenden Bandes, angelehnt an das Schwerpunktthema der alle zwei Jahre stattfindenden Tagung des Hochschulverbandes fuer Geographiedidaktik (HGD), das vom 07.-09.10.2022 in Luzern stattfand.

A wide-ranging, insightful history of culture in West Germany—from literature, film, and music to theater and the visual arts After World War II a mood of despair and impotence pervaded the arts in West Germany. The culture and institutions of the Third Reich were abruptly dismissed, yet there was no immediate return to the Weimar period’s progressive ideals.
