"Petra?" "I'm happy." "Your spelling and dictation are much better." "This girl will become a civil engineer, get married, have two children, live and work in a town on the Baltic coast." "How do I know this?" "Well, it's Petra." "I know Petra." "This is her in the fifth year." "Twenty years ago, she was used to high grades and happy teachers." "She's a civil engineer, is married, has two children, lives and works in a town on the Baltic coast." "I also knew Brigitte." "She left the school she disliked at 1 4, became a mother at 1 7 and a half, worked at a poultry farm in a state combine, has long lived on her own, hasn't had it easy." "Once Petra's schoolmate, friend and mentee, too." "As seen in this village living room on a winter evening in 1 966." "Where's he standing?" "How do you ask for the adverbial phrase of place?" ""Where"?" ""Where", "Where from" and what else?" ""Where to"?" "Yes." "Adverbial phrases of place, "where", "where from", "where to"." "That's what it was about back then and in this film today. it's tough." "I don't know." "And where?" "Can you ask that?" "But it's a little easier for us." "We have source material from the last quarter century to create a small grammar of life in the country." "Where is he standing?" "And where is he standing?" "By the stream?" "You've read it." "By the big paddock." "well, I read it aloud." "Now ask about it." "Where is he standing?" "So where's he standing?" "By the stream." "By the big paddock!" "THESE GOLZOWERS" "ADVERBIAL DEFINITION OF A PLACE" "Where are these Golzowers from?" "From beautiful Golzow." "Where can you find these Golzowers?" "In beautiful Golzow." "Where do these Golzowers occasionally return to?" "To beautiful Golzow." "The German's correct, but the geography isn't." "This beautiful Golzow here, now with a second church, is, as I'm about to illustrate, composed of the most beautiful sides of several Golzows in the GDR." "But one should be warned of continuing in this manner." "The smallest Golzow, north of Eberswalde, is thought to be the most beautiful by its people." "And with some justification." "The largest Golzow, south of Brandenburg, is also seen as the most beautiful by its people." "All right." "But our Golzow, east of Seelow and near the Border of Peace, is the most beautiful, of course." "One square kilometre of Oder marsh with lots of Golzowers on it." "They can't be found anywhere else." "How do you get to this Golzow?" "Adverbial phrases of way." "You can fly over it, but not to it." "The air route passes over Golzow." "The water route on the Oder, also passes by some distance." "Golzow isn't located on the Oder." "If it were, Oder may have been in its name." "Close, but still running right past, is the railroad." "The village is on the left when coming from Berlin." "The train stops here an unbelievable seven times a day." "Golzow State Railway Station, in a simple barrack style, is only 30 minutes on foot from Golzow." "But do the Golzowers walk?" "Did I say the air route passes over Golzow?" "Sometimes Aeroflot helps lnterflug with fertilizing." "So you can land in Golzow after all." "Over the last 25 years, though, the film always came by road, no matter the season or occasion." "Once the conqueror went east and the liberator went west." "A few kilometres north of the old state road," "This Golzow." "Right in the centre is this sandpit where these Golzowers learn to dig." "It was here that we saw the first of them, in 1 961, in August, a few days after the a certain wall was built." "We all wondered about everything else they would learn." "Me!" "Me!" "Let's sing a song." "When it's time for school for me I will learn my ABC I will learn to read there too" "E and O and I and U" "And how does it continue?" "Once I've learnt to count real well l'll start adding up as well" "One plus one is always two" "Two plus one is three mind you I can't wait for school and so" "Rucksack on, it's time to go" "Watch me proudly every day" "As I go to school, hoorayl" "That's what they did in the years to come."

"Why this one exactly?" "We'll quickly touch on the adverbial definition of a reason." "It's what chance wanted." "Let's start with the church." "You've already seen two churches in best-side-Golzow." "The original one was removed from the village by those who feared the red star more than the cross." "It was demolished at the end of the War." "As we can see, now they have an open square." "More precisely, they have space right in the centre of Golzow." "New things can be built on and around the land." "New housing blocks, for example." "Even in Oderbruch, no one wants to live in the fields any more." "We saw the open square in summer - and in winter." "Not only in different seasons and on different occasions but also throughout the years." "But the film needs to capture all of Golzow at once and it takes 1 00 minutes to do it." "I'll say it now, instead of always having to refer to the calendar, not everything shown is the most up-to-date." "It's more the span of a few decades." "But now the tangible Golzow." "The main road, the dairy shop, the egg purchaser," "the belfry on the ground next to the vicarage." "The Karl Marx Year has also come and gone." "But the volunteer fire brigade is here and is staying." "In both winter and summer, a siren sounds, calling it to the square." "We can't call all of these Golzowers at once." "One day they should all have been filmed." "This takes a while, doesn't it." "It's worse then being at the doctor's." "There isn't any film in the camera." "I'm not in the circus!" "We asked the directors to come to the gate to be introduced, because otherwise they wouldn't be distinguished." "Some of the same people in green." "The chairman is in the middle."

"They were just out driving." "They always drove it afterwards, too." "We'd better look away." "This is another permanent collective." "Important to the tall blond, Jürgen." "He's a new member of the agricultural cooperative's construction unit." "A new beginning." "Let's take a closer look." "Jürgen, what can you learn by watching?" "How it's done." "When can he plaster, GühIke, old pal?" "What?" "When can he plaster on his own?" "That'II be a while." "He has to Iearn to fling it on." "Why is that difficult?" "You have to use your wrist." "He can give it a go." "Gone on." "He tried yesterday." "Take the trowel and put it on." "Jürgen Weber as apprentice, or, more precisely, as a trainee." "At 29 years old." "And with a craft certificate in painting and decorating." "That was actually to come after laying bricks." "As a painter, he should be good with his wrist, right?" "You can't hold it tight." "You have to keep relaxed." "Or can anyone who paints use a trowel?" "I think there is a difference." "It will take a while." "So you've got prospects here?" "I'd say so, from the way the brigade looks." "It's a good collective, so it'II really be something." "You're no Ionger working alone." "Right." "We filmed Jürgen at 24 doing the trade he learned." "He was a brigadier without a brigade then." "At 20, a young craftsman doing industrial painting." "He made money, but he didn't have any fun." "At 1 7, an apprentice with the difficult wallpaper." "A self-portrait at 1 4, commissioned by the art instructor." "At 1 1, he could hardly distinguish an artist from a painter." "But he said he wanted to be one." "A flight of fancy." "When he was seven, he painted like a seven-year-old." "But when he was six, he was the builder of a sand school." "He should have just become a mason." "Mason blood, Weber blood." "Jürgen's son." "Two decades later in the same place." "hello." "hello." "Look who's here!" "We're proud of pictures like these." "Not because we filmed them, but because they could be filmed after more than 40 years of protected and defended peace in Europe." "Say goodbye." "Goodbye, Matthias." "Wait." "Goodbye." "Are you going home?" "His wife Anita just works at the nursery and gives him Stefanie." "Eckhard, the hapless fireman, has hopefully got his brigade in order." "He is an agricultural mechanic after all." "Everything's all right." "Wife Rita is an economist at the cooperative and a local councillor." "Besides Dirk, they have Doreen."

"This half day isn't just a day of discharge." "It's a transfer to the reserves." "Jürgen, last time we asked you if you'd accomplished everything." "You said no, that you still wanted a girl." "Yes." "It worked." "Yes, it worked." "How did you manage it?" "Just a bit of luck really." "And you were still a soldier?" "That was 1 980." "No, I wasn't a soldier." "But right afterward." "Right afterward." "You have a little sister." "Yes." "You can play with her." "When she's older and can run." "Is being a father again a courageous thing to do now?" "A little, because of the current situation." "Who knows how our children will do?" "I hope they grow up happy like us." "You know?" "Like you showed our childhoods." "hopefully, they'II be the same." "What's that?" "Jürgen can't imagine his life not being in peaceful circumstances." "It's the same for Eckhard, who lives in one of the new builds." "You have what you have, he says." "What he has, he's earned." "You've got it nice here." "How long have you been married?" "Four years." "It's four years." "You know too, don't you?"

"I retrained to be a mechanic after the War." "Eckhard says it's fun whenever someone asks him." "Can you explain that?" "What is it about the job?" "Why recommend it to your son?" "well..." "originally, my dream was to be an auto mechanic." "But there weren't any jobs, so I decided to Iearn bIacksmithing, because I couId always go back to being a mechanic." "So it happened." "Stand close to your father like back then." "Look this way." "Good." "It's so good to see you again like this after ten years." "It's been longer than that." "Here too, set up in front of a background..." "And now the famous "say cheese"." "...which isn't made of cardboard." "The Weber family." "There's Great Grandpa."

"well, I was born here and helped rebuild after the War." "We built our own home and got used to it here." "The area is beautiful." "There's the factory up and running." "You just feel comfortable here." "Do you feel the same way, Jürgen?" "Yes." "I couldn't live anywhere else." "Matthias wants to stay here too, I should think." "He doesn't know yet." "It's nice in GoIzow, isn't it?" "Thank you." ""Wherefrom, where, where to. "" "There are no easy answers to generational grammar." "Finished?" "Yes, Grandpa." "You can go in." "The key?"

"Is it running?" "Don't joke." "World War I claimed 45 Golzow lives, World War ll claimed 200." "The plaque has gone astray but the memory remains."

"They wanted to live, keep going, always move forward." "Then you joined the Party in 1956?" "I joined in 1956." "We both joined in 1956." "What were you thinking to yourselves?" "well, we thought that when we joined, more people would come and the numbers would increase, then we could achieve more." "And that's exactly what happened."

"Have the years since 1 953 been good for you?" "Yes, better than before with the capitalists." "There were six of us kids." "None of us were allowed to learn a trade." "We all had to work on the farm." "I got married when I turned 26." "This is my second wife." "Willy's from this second marriage." "Three children." "Three children?" "Our two daughters and Willy." "Willy, you used to be the smallest." "How did you grow into a tree?" "I grew up in the army." "You really reckon that happened there?" "I shot up after school." "What do you think of your two sons?" "The little one's bigger than the older one." "He'II take after you." "If they're SommerfeId's, they'II probably both be big." "Mr SommerfeId, how old are you?" "Seventy-two." "Born in 1910."

"I still do." "I'm very happy in GoIzow." "But otherwise, life was just work, effort and worries, right?" "That's it." "Were you a farmer in GoIzow?" "No." "Farm labourer." "How was that?" "Hard."

"In Golzow, for example, we harvest an average of 3.9 tons of grain." "We believe this is a reasonable amount." "But won't we be able to increase this?" "What do you think?" "ls there a limit?" "Does there have to be?" "So far, no scientist has been able to determine what the limit is." "This is because new strains are bred and the soil is worked deeper, so an increase is always possible." "Talking about it, we even want six tons of grain." "Science has proven this is possible." "This means the productivity of the soil can always be increased." "There are big opportunities in this marsh." "And this cannot be the end." "The man who said he doesn't believe in an end, managed to create a new masterpiece in less than a decade." "And he still has plans, with and for the Golzowers." "On a dozen hectares of war torn land," "Klitzke began with a rejected Soviet Army horse." "He now leads a large collective with 7,300 hectares." "Besides wheat, what else could it be, there are vegetables that they have specialized in." "They're the biggest in the district." "Initially, potatoes were planted, but they've now been taken out and no more are planned." "No one plants them." "The soil's too good for them."

"A typical Golzow image." "Only the car's a little newer." "The chairman and his style have stayed the same, informed by both progress and tradition, as proven by these cuts." "Higher productivity and profits mean he and his team have outgrown the original barracks." "The inscription on the old warehouse, "office"." "It creates a sense of nostalgia." "He's almost 60 now and his hair's grey." "He doesn't shy away too much from being filmed at a meeting at the new community centre." "He has things to show to others who have travelled here." "Someone who's had such guests, because he has such vegetables, and can calculate and talk to people, couldn't avoid the press for long." "THE TRAVELLING CHAIRMAN FROM THE ODERBRUCH" "MANY PATHS LEAD TO GOLZOW IN THE MARSH" "He graced front pages in good company." "Sometimes he wrote himself." "So he can tell us himself." "Comrade Arthur KIitzke with two comrades-in-arms." "Deputy Hans Lübke, production manager and Party Secretary WoIfgang ReinhoId." "From the background it looks like you're the managing director." "You've been chairman of the cooperative for 25 years." "First you had to join and become the chairman." "And then stay the chairman." "How did you do it?" "well..." "I joined more than 25 years ago." "That was back when the cooperatives were still in development." "I thought I could hold my own in the cooperative." "I'm not being untruthful when I say you could perhaps rise to the level of brigadier." "At that time, a brigadier earned 400 or 450 marks a month." "I saw that if my wife worked and I worked, we'd survive from that." "My children were little and my father was already old." "So we had to farm 1 2.5 hectares alone." "Everything was easier in the cooperative." "Their farmers had Sunday off." "individual farmers didn't." "Then I applied to join the cooperative." "But not everyone was for you joining since you had a mid-sized farm." "Yes, even the man who led Golzow's farming policy under the Nazi's." "He lived elsewhere yet he came and said," ""How can you join the cooperative?" "You're stabbing farmers in the back." "You can't do that. " And so on." "There were a lot of people who wanted to stop me." "The way I see it, what shouldn't be, cannot be." "I wasn't in the Party." "I was a member of the Union of mutual Peasants' Assistance." "But the Party organization at the time, the Party secretary thought," ""If he were chairman using all that energy he has, the cooperative could be better."" "The problem was becoming chairman." "I wrung my hands, but..." "Don't just tell us, tell the audience at the district party school." "We always called him "poIitnik" at the machine tractor station." "He argued with me and said, "Do what you want."" "You know what has to be done." "Then a full assembly was called." "It's one of his little children, daughter Gudrun." "Just to prove that the cooperative is democratic," "I didn't even get half the votes." "Then something happened that never did again." "You weren't elected." "Yes..." "Yes, I never thought that would happen." "I have to admit that." "That was strange and might be today too." "I ran away." "Then the Party started working again." "There was another general assembly eight days later." "Then they understood that it was right and I became chairman." "I just wanted to say..." "It wasn't very easy." "In 1959, I was able... 1959 was the first time in the cooperative's history." "It was only five Pfennig, but five pfennig more than projected in the plan." "That made our people so happy." "I've seldom seen such happy cooperative farmers." "They danced and were..." "They didn't understand it." "We earned five Pfennig more." "It was earned fairly." "We were all proud." "Me too." "But they sometimes wanted to beat you." "That was before." "The other lad started lashing into me." "I'd never fought in my Iife." "I turned him around, pushed his face into the ground and was done with it." "I have to say that it got around the cooperative." "They said, "If he becomes chairman, it'II be pandemonium." "We can't do that."" "He showed his fists." "You officiated in shorts." "They resented you for that." "How was that?" "I heard there was a ruling to stop it." "There wasn't a ruling as such." "I was 34 then." "When you're young, you Iike to wear shorts." "There was an old brigadier who used to be a farm labourer." "He said to me, "Come here." "What's up, Otto?"" "He said, "Look." "Never come to work in shorts again." "You're the chairman, a person to be respected." "They're laughing at you." "Wear trousers."" "Those shorts are still in my cupboard." "I never wore them again." "Daughter Gudrun, 28." "Tested, tested again and far from the end." "Like Jürgen, at a new beginning." "Cadre on hold." "We believe that you perform responsible activities in your function in this area." "congratulations and much success in your next educational chapter." "Thank you." "A trained cook who studied political science, and now?" "Just imagine if they made you mayor of a village somewhere." "Well, I wouldn't say no." "You would do it?" "Yes." "If someone approached me about it, why not?" "Things would become concrete for you." "Absolutely." "That sounds forceful." "A few weeks later at home after a visit from the Party's district leadership." "I was told, insomuch as my further employment is planned." "And I have to say it wasn't unexpected." "They found me worthy to act as mayor of a municipality." "Where?" "Genschmar." "Not far from here." "You can carry on living here." "well, we'II see what happens." "It would be more convenient to live in the community where I work." "But aren't you maybe still under your father's jurisdiction?" "No, not anymore." "Are you happy about that?" "partly." "Speaking of the mayor..." "The Golzow mayor's office." "Inside, with respect, an old fox." "Heinz RiedeI, mayor of GoIzow, at a very tidy desk." "It looks like there's not much to do here." "I wouldn't say that." "There's always work here." "Sometimes more than you'd Iike." "But organization is part of the workplace." "We've known each other for 20 years." "That sounds about right." "Twenty years in office." "Gudrun is becoming mayor next door." "What advice would you give her?" "I would tell her to always try to keep in good contact with the people." "There is a lot of work in this office." "You need understanding for the people." "And a little love too." "Everything else arises from day to day." "Are there chronic problems for mayors?" "What can you tell her?" "Of course there are." "There are special questions about the growing of vegetables." "people are sitting in their gardens?" "Of course." "The most important thing?" "Of course." "I mean, on the one hand, we support that kind of thing." "That's important." "But on the other hand, this work has to have limits." "People should have leisure time." "They need to relax, so that the next day they can do their work at the factory or wherever." "And what if they're all in the garden and no one comes the community centre?" "There are some like that, but not in general." "That's just how it is sometimes." "More people get food from their gardens than from the shop." "well, you probably don't want to say that." "A large proportion of the vegetables that they harvest from their gardens or fields, they make available to the state."

"Whoever listens with their weapon at their side also has the right to get his say." "Like the one who will now provide an interruption." "The decisive strength of our brigade group is that 65% of our fighters are comrades." "particularly..." "Comrade Commander?" "I don't think that is decisive."

"Unfortunately, I realized too late that I should paint more of old Golzow." "I only realized it later." "I wanted to paint beautiful paintings." "I see now that that was wrong." "But if I..." "If I Iive longer, say ten years more, what I'II try to do is catch up on this task." "Documents from history and your life." "Like the flood of 1947, for example." "You have a painting."

"The anniversary's over for us too." "But this film isn't." "As the festivities comes to a close," "I'II use a sentence from the chronicle of GoIzow, that was meant for a stalwart Prussian festival, but is much better suited to our occasion."

"We have daily feed usage of around 60 to 70 tons of barley and 95 tons of lucerne that has to be harvested." "I'd say we have a bigger problem with vegetables." "Some of them didn't do very well." "We have to say, "Friends, we need to make some deductions. "" "Maybe not a lot, but something, to teach them a lesson." "No one has to tell me that the vegetables are supposed to be thinner in certain rows." "No one's going to pull my leg." "Then we'd be punishing all those who have taken great pains to work hard, and the majority..." "I'd say 95% made a great effort." "Now we have to teach the rest how to work sensibly." "Arthur, how do you lead without becoming unpopular?" "well, the question you're asking is..." "Now he's embarrassed." "I have to be this way without becoming unpopular." "Anyone who thinks he can just thread his way through without ever having to argue with someone, is a lost cause as a director." "Anyone who's always consistent and suited to his task, as a leader too, even if he has to have words, no one has thrown stones at him yet." "Just the opposite." "He'II be known for consistency." "I can say that without hesitation." "Right, Hans?" "Yes." "If someone thinks he can just thread his way through, he's absolutely mistaken." "Do you think differently, wolfgang?" "I don't." "This is a specific case." "We all agreed outside that deductions have to be made." "I'II say I saw people hacking so badly that only three quarters or half the crop survived." "They created more damage than money that could have been earned." "They don't deserve a thing." "When talking about two or three people, it's necessary, because others will say," ""They're getting the same money for worse work. "" "We want good work from everyone." "That's why we do it." "This should then convince people that on this stretch..." "Small concerns in a landscape once ravaged by war." "Necessary concerns about peace getting richer." "The Genschmar Grove of Honour."

"By the way, though small, they've had a supermarket for years." "The end of the world." "But not the worst." "including Gudrun, the population will be 399." "Why is this an historic day?" "It's my first workday in Genschmar." "That's something special." "I'm happy that I'II soon be able to retire." "I'II make sure that Gudrun gets the right introduction, as it should be, and make sure she has a good foundation for her work." "You can prove your worth as mayor." "What does the mayor of Genschmar need to know?" "The mayor has to know everything, and be aware of everything." "The district has departments for everything, but the mayor has to know everything." "There's education, health and housing administration." "There's security." "Every problem comes through the mayor's office." "They have to be clarified here and solved here." "Gudrun, did you ever imagine your future residence like this?" "certainly not." "You always have dreams, but they're different from reality." "She doesn't have to run the post office or library as well." "As Riedel in Golzow and Alvast in Genschmar have said, the mayor has enough to do." "He showed her a little of it." "She'll introduce herself here first." "In a place that's always building, even the cooperative is still in post-war barracks." "They say there's a "strong man" in there." "For election as mayor of our municipality..." "A few months later, the chairman sticks up for Gudrun."

"Strong men meet one another." "The planter und the cattleman." "Gudrun, seen here receiving a single flower from the hand of a single deputy." "Cheers." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Cheers." "He knows what he has in them." "They know what they have in him." "Sounds like the end." "But what if there isn't one?" "These Golzowers are making their way to the agricultural cooperative's annual meeting." "They'll discuss their common strength, agricultural production." "Where do they stand?" "Where did they come from?" "Where are they going?" "Determination of their position, or rather, place." "Adverbial phrases of their place." "546 members, 87 of them members of the Party." "A moment of critical self-awareness." "Dear colleagues, many tasks lay before us." "In no instance do we need to start from scratch." "We only need to continue working on our goals." "only then will we have satisfied and happy people and be able to guarantee good futures for our young people." "It is most important leaders take to heart that members are not there for them." "They are there for members." "The tone is also important." "It cannot be the case that good work by some is undone by others." "Laziness is our worst enemy." "Once we've defeated this, most problems will solve themselves." "That's why we will also make every effort this year to finish the year with fulfilled plans." "Ahead to new successes!" "Thank you." "Now it can end, the film." "Even if these Golzowers will continue." "And whenever visitors come, and important ones at that, they can be met and seen in the marsh."
