Leuna 1962 – Fischwurst, Kohldampf, Kosmonauten

Am 13. August 1962 meldet die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, ein großer Teil der Belegschaft der Leuna-Werke hätte an zwei Tagen gestreikt. Anlass dieses Streiks seien erhöhte Leistungsforderungen bei schlechter Lebensmittelversorgung gewesen. Erst durch motorisierte Einheiten der Roten Armee und deutsche Soldaten sei der Streik beendet worden. Die überlieferten Akten belegen, dass es zu dieser Zeit große Unruhe gab in Leuna. Aber einen Streik dieses Ausmaßes? Warum ist bisher so gut wie nichts darüber bekannt? Wurde dieses gigantische Vorkommnis erfolgreich vertuscht oder handelt es sich um eine westdeutsche Zeitungs-"Ente"?Essay von Udo GrashoffSprecher: Martin Reik, Peter W. Bachmann, Udo GrashoffRedaktion: Katrin WenzelTon und Technik: Holger Kliemchen und Hans-Peter RuhnertRegie: Andreas MeinetsbergerProduktion: MDR 2012Verfügbar bis 21. November 2026
