Abstract (EN)

After the devastating impacts of the WWII, Germany had undergone sociological and political variations which Results in the establishments of Western (Federal) and East (Democratic) Germany. Like most of branches Germany had experienced apodeictic differences in architectural and space design venues. The dominant ostensible responsible of these differences were the both impacts of SSRU (to DDR) and USA (to FRG). At the first glance, because of it is easy to observe that there are political reasons and backgrounds of the relevant architectural and space design, there will be a scrutinizing with regard to German policy's manifestations on the DDR and FRG's era architectural episodes. The Situationist Movement which started formally in July 1957 will be turned into account for the dissection of both Eastern and Western Germany's architectural and space designs with its idiosynctratic notions called dérive, détournement and psychogéographique. German political history will be approached down from 1871. Afterwards, the architectural styles of FRG and DDR will be stated. Eventually, there will be a scrutiny arrestingly to the manifestations of German policy's on German architecture based upon certain breaking points in German policy and also with the help of the movements of thought in the interval called Cold-War. Keywords: DDR, FRG, Architecture, Politics, Dérive, Détournement, Psychogéographique.
