History UsefulNotes / TheBerlinRepublic

* ''Derrick'' from 1990 onwards

There was some opposition to the idea, based on the ultimately unfounded belief that Germany would again try to dominate Europe militarily. It just teamed up with old enemy UsefulNotes/{{France}} and did it via UsefulNotes/TheEuropeanUnion. There was, however, a notable spike of nationalist and racist hate crimes in the early 1990s - mostly in the former East Germany, but by 1995 it had mostly ebbed, and until the rise of the [=AfD=] Germany was among the only countries in Europe without a right wing populist party.

Germany became more actively militarily, being involved in Kosovo and Afghanistan, but opposing the invasion of Iraq.

* Series/{{Tatort}} and its East German counterpart Polizeiruf 110 were started in the 1970s but are [[LongRunner still going strong]] as of 2016. In 1990 a couple of episodes explicitly acknowledged the societal and political changes (e.g. Polizeiruf inspectors removing the Honecker portrait and changing their uniform from Vopo to the new "Western" one)

* ''Film/GoodByeLenin'' [[note]]Though the film takes place in the first months of the Berlin Republic, it's about the main character trying to hide from his ill mother that the GDR ceased to exist.[[/note]]
* ''Film/TheLivesOfOthers'' [[note]]The ending takes place in a reunified Germany.[[/note]]

On 3 October 1990, the [[UsefulNotes/{{Germany}} two Germanies reunified]]. (They'd considered 9 November, it being the date of the Berlin Wall crumbling in 1989, also the date of the proclamation of the first German republic in 1918, but decided that firstly they didn't want another birthday for the GDR, and secondly [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_9_in_German_history that day is kind of historically cursed]]) Actually, UsefulNotes/EastGermany joined UsefulNotes/WestGermany in a manner that left many feeling it was an annexation. The enlarged state kept the constitutional structure of UsefulNotes/WestGermany.

* By the same [[/index]][[Creator/NaokiUrasawa author]], [[index]]''Manga/{{Pluto}}'' is also partially set in a futuristic Germany, with main character Kommissar Gesicht being a German police officer.

* ''Anime/{{Blassreiter}}'' is about a German police force fighting techno demons.[[/index]]

* ''[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Modern Warfare 3]]'' has a mission set in Berlin.
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerGenerals: Zero Hour''. The final GLA campaign mission has them attacking the U.S. European Command HQ in Stuttgart and winning. The next campaign, the Chinese one, spends 4 out of its 5 missions counterattacking and driving the GLA out of Germany. [[ShownTheirWork If you plot the progression of the Chinese campaign on a map, you'll see they are steadily pushing the GLA north toward the sea.]] [[labelnote:*]]Stuttgart to Coburg to Halberstadt to Hamburg.[[/labelnote]]

Under the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany (or the "Two-Plus-Four Agreement"), which came into force on 15 March 1991 Germany gained full sovereignty and [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn the Soviets]] (soon thereafter most of it became UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}) left. The [[UsefulNotes/UnitedStates Americans]] and [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom British]] stayed (due to the UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}) (and the French are now stationed in Germany as well but as friends, not occupiers). The Oder-Neisse border with UsefulNotes/{{Poland}} became finalised in a separate treaty, the old UsefulNotes/EastGermany became a zone free of nuclear weapons or foreign bases and Germany renounced any claim to areas east of Oder-Neisse that had been part of Germany before 1945.
