Resurrection of devastated East German tourist destinations.

Dr. Bernhard Seliger’s periodical article, ’30 Years After German Reunification,’ was published in JoongAng Sunday. This May, Dr. Seliger shared his opinion on German reunification under the title of ‘the Church of Our Lady in Dresden, Lügen Island… Under the theme of reconstruction of East Germany’s Destroyed tourist site.’ It examines the regional changes between East and West Germany, which occurred in the past when East and West Germany were divided and stopped private exchanges between residents. Further introduces the current German government’s project to revive East German tourist sites. Finally, Dr. Seliger proposed exchanges between residents of South Korea as well as North Korea, reflecting on the present day of the Korean Peninsula, where the younger generation’s perception of unification has weakened over three generations.
