Liberated East was really nice, because there was no urban sprawl. People lived in multistory houses in middle of nowhere. I bicycled around and camped wherever. Place is probably much worse nowadays with too many cars and parking lots.
timonoko•7mo ago
I totally forgot: I was not bicycling, I was roller-skating (& camping) in East Germany: https://youtu.be/EJISUjbk46E?si=8rFkUf9FdaY60O8c
kleiba•7mo ago
In case someone feels like inspired by this: beware that by default, camping outside camp grounds is generally prohibited almost anywhere in Germany.
untitled2•7mo ago
In case someone doesn't know: everything is generally prohibited everywhere in Germany.
fredfish•7mo ago
But you should still buy an insurance for it.
ofrzeta•7mo ago
For the record, Cannabis is now legalised.
nicbou•7mo ago
Not in Brandenburg (around Berlin)! Overnight, non-motorised wild camping is allowed, but it certainly isn't widespread.
jagermo•7mo ago
It would help more to get rid if their fascists. Eastern germany is not a nice place to visit or live outside cities.

Not just the open skinheads, but everyday racism is rampant.

thinkingtoilet•7mo ago
The article talks about this as if it's not a problem. "only" 42% of the population are right-wing facists! Oh boy! Can't wait to go there!
pavel_lishin•7mo ago
And the remaining 58% just need a bit of time to connect with you because they're not used to much diversity, she says!
exiguus•7mo ago
I don't see that eastern germany is not a place to visit. Yes, there are areas and cities or villages with a lot of neo-na*is and there are areas where the AfD has 50% in eastern germany. But this are a few areas. And i am not saying that AfD voters are per se facists. On the other hand, you will find fascist all over the place in germany. Also in Bavaria and BW or NRW. For example: The AfD meetup to remigrate germans was in NRW and was organised by NRW AfD members and followers. Or the Waldorf / alternative medicine fascist people are mostly located in BW.

so it's not free

mensetmanusman•7mo ago
Free as in €100

> Guben made headlines in 1999 when an Algerian asylum-seeker, Farid Guendoul, bled to death after being hounded by neo-Nazis.

Passive voice strikes again!

oasisaimlessly•7mo ago
Passive boice generally requires using the words "is"/"was", which are absent there.
on_the_train•7mo ago
Ah yes the usual political propaganda directly from the government on the "no politics" site
pavel_lishin•7mo ago
> the "no politics" site

Where did you get the impression that HN is a "no politics" site? The guidelines say that most stories about politics are considered off-topic.

qrios•7mo ago
„Deutsche Welle“ (dw) is a public funded station. It‘s like VOA of Germany, at least from the flow of money perspective.
OKRainbowKid•7mo ago
What propaganda are you referring to, specifically?
on_the_train•7mo ago
Nice try to get people banned for answering a question
pavel_lishin•7mo ago
Are you actually going to answer the question?
on_the_train•7mo ago
No because that bait has been used multiple times to ban people, I was serious.
purpleidea•7mo ago
There are a bunch of "news sources" online all with very similar articles, and not one lists where you can sign up.
eesmith•7mo ago
This one for Guben is at https://www.guben.de/de/leben-wohnen/probewohnen/item/719-pr... . Applications were due 25 May 2025.

The article mentions Eisenhüttenstadt. That's at https://www.xn--jetzt-plne-schmieden-izb.de/probewohnen/ . Applications due 5 July. Still time!

I also mentions Frankfurt (Oder). The link I found at https://www.frankfurt-slubice.eu/de/arbeiten-leben/probewohn... says it was September 2021 to December 2022.

I think https://stadt-auf-probe.ioer.eu/wohnen/ is another, in Görlitz. I found no date.

mvac•7mo ago
The town of Görlitz is truly charming. I visited after discovering that many scenes from my favorite movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, were filmed there (https://www.discovergoerlitz.com/grandbudapest/)
nicbou•7mo ago
The Eisenhüttenstadt one is so delightfully German. There are only two units, available for 14 days. The application window ends 3 months in advance. You are explicitly required to participate in some local project during that time and not merely vacation there.

I wonder how many people were involved in creating the project, the website and the forms, then selecting candidates.

ofrzeta•7mo ago
The article doesn't mention that the cost for "Probewohnen" is 100 Euro per week and you are obliged to do an internship at one of the "partner companies".
