Topic: GDR



  
 GDR feature
The goal being to deny the GDR, which had only been recognised by the FRG against its will anyway, the right to its existence after the fact, to defame it as an "evil empire", and to incriminate all who served it.
Those who were persecuted during the Nazi regime and then held positions in the GDR, on the other hand, are subjected to cuts or even eliminationn of the retirement pay that is due them.
Those Germans who, for more than six years, have been inundated with investigations and trials by the police and courts of the FRG, for their sovereign activities in the former GDR, are in many cases men and women who actively participated in the resistance against Hitler's fascism.

 GDR Souvenirs - Official Gifts from Abroad
A copper platter intended for hanging on a wall and asserting friendship between the GDR and the People's Republic of Mongolia burdened the baggage of Mongolian head of Party and state Yumshagiin Zedenbal.
Building the Wall may possibly have helped the GDR survive as a state in the medium term, but it did nothing whatsoever to improve East Germany's political standing.
The cheers in East Berlin were doubtless spontaneous and deafening, and the Federal Republic's claim to be the sole legitimate Germany had been signally trounced.

Cells which could not be controlled by the MfS were destroyed by the MfS, for example by making sure that an activist was increasingly stressed on his or her job to prevent him or her from carrying out extensive organizational activities.

The country-wide activities of the communists could not be kept hidden from the political secret police of the SED.

 CNN Cold War - First Draft: Pravda
If the FRG and NATO were in fact to undertake measures on questions of disarmament, as has already been done by the GDR and the other socialist states, that would have a positive impact on the discussion of this question.
In answering this question, asked by journalists at a press conference, G. Schabowski, member of the Politburo and secretary of the SUPG Central Committee, noted that in speaking of the Wall, a number of other factors must be taken into account.
From the rostrum of the plenary session of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany's Central Committee that is taking place these days, self-critical admissions have been heard: the Party leadership that has now resigned did not recognize the demands of the times, did not understand that society needs renewal.

 East Germans hold up their heads again, by Brigitte Pätzold
He is thought to be a close political adviser to Manfred Stolpe, the social democrat leader of the Brandenburg Land, himself the target of a campaign about alleged collaboration with the Stasi.
Misselwitz goes on to say that the transfer of power was not confined to the political sphere: 85% of industrial goods were transferred from East to West Germany, under the aegis of the "Treuhand".
Dahn, co-founder of the Democratic Renewal opposition movement in 1989, explains that "The GDR ceased to exist when we began to get a taste for money." Grassroots democracy had disappeared and the property sharks and speculators had moved in.

 Germany: Ostalgia for the GDR, by Dominique Vidal, Peter Linden et Benjamin Wuttke
The GDR disappeared and advocates of reunification did their best to remove all trace of its existence.
Surprisingly Egon Krenz, the last president of the GDR, now out of prison (5), is dismissive.
The other peoples of liberated eastern Europe were able to keep their nation states, but not the East Germans.

It is a hateful politically motivated allegation that Gregor Gysi as a lawyer in the GDR cooperated with the East German police to the detriment of his clients.
His comparison of the GDR with Nazi Germany and even with its Death Camps is typical of many Germans and their elite.
Waigel included the Far Right in his analogy and borrowed the analogy from the theologian Josef Bernard, the comparison to a disease in the German body hauntingly parallels Heinrich Himmler's description of the Jews as being the "Bacillus" in the German body that must be exterminated see: Himmler's October 4, 1943 Posen Speech "Extermination".

 Book Review - 66.4 - Gaddy2
The writers and intellectuals (for example, Wolf, Stefan Heym, and Christoph Hein) who chose to stay in the GDR opposed reunification because they strived for a democratic socialism in the GDR, not a capitalist system of the FRG type.
Of course, as Brockmann points out, the real criticism against Wolf was that she chose to remain in the GDR.
Heiner Müller defended his involvement with the Stasi by arguing that the Stasi was the only institution in the GDR with which one could engage in a dialogue.

 Promoting Socialism and Anti-Colonialism:The Development Policy of the GDR
The GDR's demands for a new international economic order could now have hardly been asserted when its own attitude towards Third World countries was examined.
The development policy of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), or East Germany, was not constituted as an independent entity.
Although the GDR carried out development cooperation with more than 100 countries, it was determined by political-ideological yardsticks and concentrated on socialist countries and so called "states of socialist development".

 Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
It leadership obstinately refuses to work together with political dissenters: In January 1988 at the traditional demonstrations honoring Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, the State Security arrests counter-demonstrators calling for freedom of speech in the GDR.
His act sets off a heated discussion in the Protestant Land churches, forcing them to review their political posture.
His aim is to raise a sign against the political conditions in the GDR, in particular the atheistic education of youth, and for more opposition by his church against the state's repressive system.

The German Democratic Republic, which had been founded on 7 October 1949, was a product of the Soviet Union.
Mr Gorbachev, during talks with US President Ronald Reagan off the coast of Malta (December 1989), warned against any attempt to force the German issue.
Although Chancellor Kohl, in his state of the nation address to parliament in December 1988, welcomed the lifting of some travel restrictions, he had to denounce the suppression of the reform movement in the GDR.

 Socialist Magical Realism - Irmtraud Morgner's Trobadora Beatrice
Morgner goes so far as to include some six pages of excerpts from a speech by the GDR Minister of Health Services justifying the law to the People's Chamber, historic words worthy of a place in her fiction.
It was later revealed that he had long been an informant for the Stasi (the GDR state security service); he and Morgner divorced in 1977.
The GDR may have been a flawed and ultimately a failed political experiment, but small and lasting miracles were possible even there.

 The Plundering of the GDR by the Soviet Union
West German imperialism seeks to use the indignation against the robber system of the CMEA and the clique of Bonzes of the SED leadership to bring grist to its own mill.
Socialism in the GDR can only be the result of the proletarian revolution under the leadership of a genuine Marxist-Leninist party.
The consequences of the plundering of the GDR and of the other CMEA countries is that the GDR has also lost its economic independence as a highly developed industrial country and has become an appendage of the Soviet economy.

As a consequence of the Helsinki Accords, the reception of Western news media broadcasts was tacitly allowed in the GDR.
The GDR leadership welcomed protests against weapons and war as long as they occurred in the FRG.
Church organizations in the GDR--considered subversive by their mere existence--and individual pastors who protected and defended demonstrators at risk to their own safety became targets of increased surveillance by the Stasi, as did individual churchgoers, who by 1988 were frequently arrested and interrogated.

  Within the scheme of unification, Franz would embody the West, but he would be swallowed up by the all encompassing flowers (run down economy of the former GDR which is swallowing up the money pumped into the state by the West?) of the East.

Station Inspector Brock is witness to a robbery but, guilt-ridden by his failure to stand up to the Nazi regime years ago, he fails to report one of the culprits.

 Jurek Becker
As an Auschwitz survivor of Jewish origins he was one of the few German writers able to take a victim's perspective on the Holocaust, most famously in his first novel Jakob der Lügner, a world-wide success.
As a GDR writer who came into conflict with the authorities despite a life-long commitment to socialism he was in the peculiar position of being allowed to live in the West while retaining his GDR visa.
His work remains as a landmark of that state, with novels such as Bronsteins Kinder treating the problem of post-war Jewish identity and the legacy of National Socialism within a GDR setting.

The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact.
With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR).
The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990.

In 1990, I identified a group of new publishers in East Germany that I wanted to collect in order to document the impact of the Wende on literary publishing and East Germany's countercultural movements, most notably the Prenzlauer Berg writers.
Research on the transition from the GDR to the post-reunification Bundesrepublik in literary publishing also requires materials on West German publishing prior to 1989, as well as West German countercultures and underground publishing.
These papers were preserved by Bredel's secretary and include his correspondence and other documents produced between 1953 and 1964.

Moreover, some GDR leaders maintain that the absence of a peace treaty with it leads to a direct violation of the sovereignty of the Republic by the member-states of NATO.
Due to prestige considerations, they support the speedy conclusion of a peace treaty with the GDR, having in mind that the conclusion of such a treaty would allow our friends to have the right of full control over all GDR territory, including full control over the links.

 East Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German Democratic Republic (GDR) (German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik), also commonly known as East Germany, was a communist state that existed from 1949 to 1990 in the former Soviet occupation zone of Germany.
In the first and last free elections of the GDR on March 18, 1990, the leading communist party SED lost the majority, which was guaranteed in the previous elections, in the Volkskammer (the parliament of the GDR).

 Seminar
Peter Barker’s essay on Sorbian speaking citizens of the GDR ties his central question to a larger question of national identity in the former East.
He explains that the editors are interested in the “bilingualism” that developed in the GDR before the fall of the wall, whereby GDR citizens were compelled to shift codes between public (state controlled) and private patterns of speech, which the book’s authors treat as a shifting and elusive boundary.
Their empirical work not only makes this broad claim, but also provides salient insight into the formation of the stereotype of the western know-it-all [Besserwessi].
