- Title
„Zeitung für Deutschland"?: Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung und die deutsche Frage 1969 bis 1990.
- Authors
Kutzner, Maximilian
- Abstract
To this day, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) calls itself a "newspaper for Germany". This was the aspiration of its founders. The stabilisation of two German states, however, challenged the position of the FAZ in matters of German nationhood policy. How did it position itself regarding Neue Ostpolitik , the increased engagement with the East? Did the newspaper successfully establish itself as a trendsetter in this field of policy? The article reveals conflicts among the editorial staff as well as outside attributions by both West and East German actors. The author demonstrates the tensions between the FAZ's own line and the recognition of the political facts regarding German nationhood during the 1970s and 1980s. Was it ready to relinquish old principles for the achievement of German unity?
