Abstract
Contrary to the long pro-European tradition of post-war Germany, a silent repositioning of German governments and public opinion on EU topics has taken place in recent years. Europe’s unification is no longer a shared ideal, but rather a controversial issue and target of attacks by populist politicians, even in the government. In this paper I point out some steps of the transformation of German political debate about Europe. I also pose the question how it was possible that, over the last years, a generally critical and cosmopolitan public sphere like the German developed a narrow and populist narrative of the euro crisis in the main media.
