摘要：本文分析了后苏联时代公共空间的国家政策与哈萨克斯坦德国人对城市重构的个人感知之间的相互依存关系。运用定性的社会地理方法，作者考察了真实和想象的地方的民族符号化过程的决定因素。个人经历和苏联社会化程度是塑造个人对象征性景观感知的因素。从个体的角度来看，空间反映了社会内部的权力分配，从而影响了个体身份的形成。取决于内部认同而非外部认同的主导地位，（可感知的）城市种族化景观的变化可能会加剧种族紧张关系。
Abstract This article provides an analysis of interdependencies between post-Soviet Erinnerungspolitik in public space and the individual perception of urban reconfigurations by ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan. Applying a qualitative social-geographic approach the author examines determinants of the process of ethnic symbolisation of real and imagined places. Individual biography and the extent of Soviet socialisation are factors shaping the personal perception of symbolic landscapes. From the perspective of the individual, space reflects the power distribution within society and hence, impacts on individual identity formation. Depending on the dominance of internal as opposed to external identification, the (perceived) changing ethnicised landscape of cities potentially fuels ethnic tension.
