Two lectures on the development of Berlin's adult education centers after World War II are included. The lecture by Werner Korthaase begins by describing the situation prior to 1920, when Berlin was divided into independent districts, each with its own administrative authorities. It then describes the reestablishment of the local adult education centers in all the districts in 1945 and the diversity of offerings and student numbers. The lecture concludes with a description of the detrimental effects of the Soviet blockade during 1948-1949. The lecture by Karl Heinz Rose begins by briefly describing the development of Berlin's adult education centers after they were re-established during the summer of 1945. It then discusses the disintegration of the programmatic structure of adult education in Berlin due to the political division of the city, the "Study Group on Workers' Education" founded by the United States military government, the contribution of the Education Branch of the British military government to the easing of the difficult start of Berlin's district adult education centers, and exchange programs with the United States and Great Britain. International cooperation is also highlighted. The paper concludes by focusing on the decline in importance accorded to Berlin's adult education centers and the emphasis on liberal arts programs in the centers. (YLB)
