    Background:

    • Political repression under the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ) and German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1945-1990.
    • Long-term health effects of political traumatization remain a significant concern.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of the long-term psychic and psychosomatic sequelae of political traumatization.
    • To examine the health effects of tyranny in the SBZ and GDR.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical experiences from a psychosomatic chair (1996-2021).
    • Review of state-of-the-art research findings.
    • Inclusion of preliminary results from a research network on SED injustice consequences.

    • Long-term consequences include complex networks of psychological, psychosomatic, and somatic illnesses.
    • Effects extend beyond imprisonment to various forms of repression.
    • Post-traumatic stress disorders are present but not the sole outcome.

    Conclusions:

    • Reappraisal of damages in criminal, health, and social law is inadequate.
    • Suppression of this historical trauma in public discourse persists.
    • There is a need for comprehensive recognition and addressing of these health impacts.
