Dennis Kluever says that you can\u2019t simply ignore certain rules and regulations. Kluever is a CDU politician, member of the Bundestag, and director of the Schoenberg museum of local history. He arrived in the town a few years ago with his family, coming from western Germany. He has been treated with extreme hostility because of his opposition to \u201cStasi-Mayor\u201d Heinze.<\/p>\n (Note: Since German reunification twenty years ago, people coming from western Germany to live in the eastern part of the country have sometimes been regarded by the local population as complete outsiders, almost as though they were not fellow Germans at all, but rather members of a force of occupation, arriving in newly conquered territory.)<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Fugmann, Tom, \u201cDer Stasi-Buergermeister,\u201c 3Sat, \u201cKulturzeit\u201c Broadcast of 13 August 2009.<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
