Stefan Heym's speech as President of the 13th German Bundestag in 1994

Venue: TIETZ, Neue Sächsische Galerie, 1st floor

Stefan Heym was elected to the Bundestag in 1994 as a non-party member of parliament for the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS). As the oldest member of parliament, he was responsible for opening its constituent session. His speech as the oldest member of parliament, which was received extremely coolly by the representatives of the governing parties at the time, is now regarded as one of the great speeches in the history of the German parliament. Even 30 years later, it still proves to be highly topical.
An event organised by the International Stefan Heym Society e. V. in cooperation with the City of Chemnitz's cultural department.
