Season 3, episode 1 of our six-part series The New Germany, with historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody, explores how Germany's government has evolved as the country has faced domestic and international crises. What experiences and lessons has Germany learned under different chancellors? Where did the "German way" prove effective, and where can Germany learn from other countries?

Guest: Peter Altmaier, German politician (CDU)

What is the state of German democracy 100 years after the first crisis of the Weimar Republic? Is German democracy better able to deal with crises and problems today?

As hosts, historian Katja Hoyer and journalist Oliver Moody set out to find some answers. Together with their expert guests, they are looking into Germany's past and present to see what the future might hold for Europe's largest democracy.
