| | German Democratic Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The German Democratic Republic was proclaimed in East Berlin on October 7, 1949. | | | Consequent waves of German settlements, which in subsequent centuries later included French Hugenots and Jews, gradually modified the originally Slavic composition of the land, except for the small community of Sorbs in Lusatia, and eventually most of what is now East Germany formed a large part of the historical Kingdom of Prussia. | | | The East German territory was reorganized into what is now the city of Berlin and five states, reconstituting political entities that had been abolished in 1950. |

| | The acquisition of German nationality by the complainant in consequence of his acquisition of the citizenship of the German Democratic Republic is not countered by obligations of the Federal Republic of Germany, whether in general international law or through its treaty links with the German Democratic Republic. | | | Nor does it mean that the Federal Republic of Germany is entitled to claim duties on German nationals resulting from this status within the area of sovereignty of the German Democratic Republic. | | | The Three Governments consider that the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany is the only German government freely and legitimately constituted and therefore entitled to speak for the German people in international affairs. |

| | GDR propaganda books, describing the nation's identity, political philosophy and foreign policy agenda, openly stated that the GDR was using its foreign policy to gain approval and political clout in the eyes of the Soviet government. | | | In essence, western writers have said that the GDR had little say in how their own country was run, and that the USSR used the East German government as a pawn in carrying out their own foreign policy agenda. | | | Our purpose is to show the GDR's foreign policy towards developing countries during the 1970's and 80's, a foreign policy which the East German government strove to reinforce and legitimize through this popular art form. |

| | Ten Years of the GDR |
| | The GDR is the legal German state because it developed according to international agreements, and also because its existence encourages the forces of progress and because the social order created by the German people themselves in the GDR is the surest guarantee for peace. | | | The dark forces that had driven the German people to the worst catastrophe of their history fought bitterly to hold on to their positions in the government and the economy. | | | The German war-mongers who were defeated in the Second World War lost all of their economic and political power east of the Elbe. |

| | The German Communists (officially the Socialist Unity Party), sponsored by the Soviet occupation authorities, formed the German Democratic Republic. | | | The first constitution of the German Democratic Republic (adopted when the GDR was founded) did not mention a flag, just that the national colours were black-red-gold. | | | After the German defeat in World War Two, for a number of years there was no central German government, although state governments were fairly rapidly created (each of these adopted flags). |

| | The German Democratic Republic's Declaration on the Anti-Torture Convention and its Consequences: |
| | This makes it clear that the German Democratic Republic regards the "financial declaration" it made on ratification as a mere interpretive declaration and not as a reservation: it interprets the contribution obligations pursuant to Convention Articles 17(7) and 18(5) to mean that a state is responsible only for those implementation activities that it accepts. | | | The reservation made by the German Democratic Republic pursuant to Article 28 is thus wholly consistent with the position expressed by the German Democratic Republic during debate. | | | The German Democratic Republic's Declaration on the Anti-Torture Convention and its Consequences: |

| | Although the German Democratic Republic was constitutionally a parliamentary democracy, decisive power actually lay with the SED and its boss, the veteran communist functionary Walter Ulbricht, who held only the obscure position of deputy premier in the government. | | | Two additional parties, a Democratic Farmers' Party and a National Democratic Party, designed to attract support, respectively, from farmers and from former Nazis, were added with the blessing of the SED. | | | The next day, the People's Chamber installed the former Social Democrat Otto Grotewohl as premier at the head of a Cabinet that was nominally responsible to the chamber. |

| | The former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was generally regarded as the most economically developed and politically stable country of Eastern Europe. | | | While many GDR citizens expressed their dissent by retreating into a private world, others whom I met hoped for and struggled to create a socialist society. | | | Many East Germans asked, "Where is our Gorbachev?" and looked forward to the day when a more youthful, reform-minded leadership would work for socialism with a human face. |
