Reclaiming a history, vol. 4: Modernised Socialist Realism 1955–1991
After the death of Stalin in 1952 Soviet architecture turned their back on the conservative paradigms of Socialist Realism. Jewish architects became a part of the movement to industrialise construction technology in the Soviet Union. This Modernisation created a new architecture more in touch with international trends.

Christiane Zschauer: Binz - Sellin - Göhren.
Die Entstehung der bürgerlichen Ostseebäder auf der Insel Rügen.
Binz, Sellin und Göhren wurden im Zuge des sich ab 1870 rasant entwickelnden Fremdenverkehrs von kleinen Fischerdörfern zu prachtvollen Seebädern mit großstädtischem Flair. Die Industrialisierung in Deutschland ließ sie nach dem Vorbild von See- und Kurbädern des europäischen Auslandes erblühen. Ihre breiten Sandstrände machten Binz, Sellin und Göhren besonders attraktiv, und der Anschluss der Orte an das Eisenbahnnetz sorgte für immer mehr Besucher aus den Metropolen Mitteldeutschlands.
