The confrontation of the political blocks after 1945 for decades had tremendous effects, both on the youth and their forms of socialisation and organisation. Until the end of the Perestroika in the late 1980s, the youth were a hard-fought group in the East and West and therefore received tremendous political attention as part of a system of competing ideologies. Under the increasing influence of mass culture, the manner in which young people spent their free time also changed. At the same time since the 1960s, young people established new forms of protests within international protest and peace movements (e. g. "Ostermarschbewegungen). Due to these new constellations the youth movement and the traditional political and denominational youth groups lost their attractivity. This work analyses what this meant for young people, youth groups, youth movements and youth cultures in both German states and therefore contributes to the German-German history.
