In the 25th anniversary year of the German reunification, Christina Callori-Gehlsen presents a travel book – she went to Archyz in the Caucasus where in 1989/90 the German chancellor Helmut Kohl and the Russian president Michail Gorbatschow established the reunification through their conversations about the NATO-membership of the arising Germany as a whole.
But first of all, her book Reise nach Archyz (»Journey to Archyz«) is a historical retrospect and visualisation. Horst Teltschik, who accompanied Kohl’s delegation at that time, contributed a preface, Karl Diefenbach added a historical outline of the German division. A greeting from the Federal Foreign Office is requested, also a personal memory of Hans-Dietrich Genscher, the foreign minister at that time and participant of the conversations of Archyz.
A second journey to Archyz in the middle of 2015 shall, initiated by this travel report, install a commemorative plaque at the Datscha Gorbatschow, the historical place of the conversations. – In so doing, Dr. Gernot Erler, Commissioner of the Federal Government for Russia, Matthias Platzeck from the German-Russian forum and the Minister of cultural affairs and tourism in Tscherkessk Marat Chubijew pleasantly supported us.

About the meetings of Konrad Adenauer and Nikita Chruschtschow in 1955 as well as the one of Helmut Kohl and Michail Gorbatschow in 1990.
At the beginning and at the end of the German division there was each time a conversation between two politicians: these were Konrad Adenauer and Nikita Chruschtschow in 1955, when BRD und DDR established themselves and there were Helmut Kohl and Michail Gorbatschow in 1990, who ascertained the basic structure of the German reunification. Both conversations of which the first indicates the beginning of the blocking of the Cold War and the second marks the end of the East-West conflict, whose boundary ran in the midst of Germany, are portrayed by Christina Callori based on contemporary documents.
Both visualisations are framed and – also for younger readers – historically underlaid by two essays of Karl Diefenbach about developments after World War II and the circumstances during the fall of the Berlin Wall. – The introductory preface comes from the political scientist Werner Weidenfeld.
