Abstract

The political transition in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the autumn of 1989 led to changes in all institutions: a pluralistic system of political parties was established; the former so-called “People’s Enterprises” (in reality owned by the communist party) as well as banks and insurance companies were privatised; the education system and even scientific institutions had to adapt to West German standards. October 3, 1990 the constitutional law of West Germany became effective in the east as well, and with it the legal system of the Federal Republic. Already earlier, the Deutschmark had been introduced as the new currency.
