When I went through the German integration class (for my visa)....in the 30-day class....there was around two hours spent on the era (from the East German/DDR prospective). It was enough to 'wet' your taste. From the group I was with (mostly Iraqis/Syrians)...they knew next to nothing about the division and marginally got anything out of the 2 hours.
This came up today....Berlin-City authorities have finally decreed that secondary schools don't have to waste any history studies time on the DDR era. Some folks complained, but it appears like 98-percent didn't care. It wasn't like this thrilling era was fun-loving or dynamic.
What will fill the history hours? Well....they left that blank. I'm guessing Roman era stuff.....maybe a bit more of the Weimar-era.
