West Germany and the Iron Curtain takes a fresh look at the history of Cold War Germany and the German reunification process from the spatial perspective of the West German borderlands that emerged along the volatile inter-German border after 1945. These border regions constituted the Federal Republic’s most sensitive geographical space where it had to confront partition and engage its socialist neighbor East Germany in concrete ways. Each issue that arose in these borderlands – from economic deficiencies, border tourism, environmental pollution, landscape change, and the siting decision for a major nuclear facility – was magnified and mediated by the presence of what became the most militarized border of its day, the Iron Curtain.
