It's Germany's birthday! The Federal Republic was founded 75 years ago — and the GDR. This marked the beginning of a very unique era of division and unity, of freedom and dictatorship, of “economic miracles” and bankruptcies, of social change and stagnation, of old statesmen and youthful protest, of turning times and times of change. It all began - at least in the three western zones - with the adoption of the Basic Law on May 23, 1949. This is how the Federal Republic of Germany began. Consul General Felix Schwarz explains the significance of the Basic Law for the past three-quarters of a century of German history. - Deutschland hat Geburtstag! Vor 75 Jahren wurden die Bundesrepublik gegründet – und die DDR. Damit begann eine ganz einzigartige Epoche von Teilung und Einheit, von Freiheit und Diktatur, von "Wirtschaftswundern" und Pleiten, von gesellschaftlichem Wandel und Stagnation, von alten Staatsmännern und jugendlichem Protest, von Wendezeiten und Zeitenwenden. Am Anfang stand - zumindest in den drei Westzonen - die Verabschiedung des Grundgesetzes am 23. Mai 1949. So begann die Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Generalkonsul Felix Schwarz erläutert die Bedeutung des Grundgesetzes für das zurückliegende Dreivierteljahrhundert deutscher Geschichte.
