The demise of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) strongly impacted higher education as well as other social sectors. This article looks at the common historical roots of Central European universities, the different directions higher education took in West and East Germany after 1945, and the current turbulent transformation of higher education in East Germany in light both of common developments in Eastern Europe and also of diverging developments in the process of German unification.
