Walter Fabian (24 August 1902 – 15 February 1992) was a German socialist politician, journalist and translator. During the Nazi years he became a resistance activist and political exile.[1][2][3][4]

Auch ich träume manchmal davon dass es Deutschlands Bestimmung sein möge, den Abgrund zwischen Ost und West zu überbrücken, indem es die sozialistische Wirtschaftsbasis des Ostens mit der politischen Demokratie des Westens verbindet.[5]

-- Walter Fabian in conversation with Jörg Wollenberg, 15 October 1985

Sometimes I dream that it might be Germany's vocation to bridge the space between east and west, by combining the socialist economic framework of the east with the political democracy of the west.
