Marlene Mähler

I was born in 1999 in East Berlin and grew up there. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Gender Studies and Anthropology in Berlin and Athens. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was driven by an interest in the legacy of the GDR, which led me to co-edit, together with Alma Jahn and Angelique Pershon, the anthology *Postwendekinder—Toward a Future of Solidarity and Equality Between East and West Germany*, published in 2026. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Education, Culture, and Anthropology in Jena, Thuringia.
