  Abstract:  This paper proposes a phraseological approach to Wolfgang Becker’s successful film Goodbye, Lenin! It aims at showing that most of the stylistic features which are usually considered to be typical of the jargon used and imposed by the former East- German Communist Party (SED) can – and should – be also studied from a phraseological point of view. After giving a definition of the East-German variety as a variety in terms of the use of language, the main part of the paper offers a functional analysis of the phrasemes – prototypical and modified forms – used in the film, whereby we also focus on their role concerning the ironic dimension of the film.
