Die Kinder von Golzow - Golzow 1961-1975

The chronicle of the children of Golzow reports on people born between 1953 and 1955 who were born in the GDR, grew up here and became citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany in the middle of their lives. In 1961 - a few days after the construction of the Berlin Wall - they started school together in Golzow (Oderbruch) and filmed for the first time, and after eight, ten or twelve years, life took them apart in different ways.
The story of the children of Golzow and the associated views of their realities of life illustrate a piece of the history of the GDR and also of the DEFA documentary film up to 1989. Since then, the chronicle has documented the lives of the 'Children of Golzow' during the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall and afterwards.
