    Ernst Thälmann had moved the masses during the Weimar Republic. He failed to bring about the “victory of communism”.

    Prologue

    The wrecking balls had grown weary. After the fall of the Wall, they had razed so many heroes of socialism. In 1993, Thälmann was due to be removed as well.

The films are part of the project Thinking from the Pedestal, realised as the outcome of an art competition organised by the District Office of Pankow Berlin for an artistic commentary on the Ernst Thälmann Monument.

Funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Berlin as part of its "Urban Redevelopment" programme.
