Intelligence Club
The Intelligence Clubs were an institution within the Kulturbund of the GDR .
In 1954 the Kulturbund issued guidelines for the creation and support of the clubs of the intelligentsia . Their main tasks as meeting places for members of the intelligentsia were above all the organization of the interdisciplinary discussion, the implementation of cultural events and the development of a lively social life. The class of the intelligentsia in the GDR should thus be integrated into the development of social life in the GDR.
The clubs were subordinated to the Kulturbund by a resolution of the Central Council on September 14, 1957. This measure was a reaction to the fact that in the clubs the development of the "theory" of a certain independence from the Kulturbund and the "aspirations of our state" was established. This assumption should summarize the “intellectuals” and be “centers of open intellectual debate with the intelligentsia” in the sense of a general orientation of the Kulturbund.
Since 1958 there have also been “country clubs of the intelligentsia”, which are supposed to give the intellectuals working in the districts an opportunity to “discuss important issues of social development with workers and cooperative farmers”.
On the one hand, the clubs of the intelligentsia were a certain zone for free discussions and encounters, on the other hand, however, they often welcomed the politics of the party and state leadership of the GDR in official statements.
In 1989 there were 170 clubs in all major cities of the GDR. They each had between 100 and over 2000 members.
The clubs mostly named themselves after historical personalities of the respective city and were assigned attractive villas or other central buildings in the cities (e.g. the Lingnerschloss in Dresden). The work was organized by a few full-time employees and many volunteer members. For many artists from the GDR , they were one of the few opportunities to present their work within the GDR.
In 1990, after the end of the GDR, some of these clubs turned into independent cultural associations.
