Description

How well did you know the GDR? Much has been rebuilt or reconstructed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and some was even torn down. For example, instead of Honecker's former prestige object, the "Palace of the Republic", whose construction cost more than 1 billion marks, the city palace of Berlin on the Spree island is once again standing today. The GDR Foreign Ministry - once directly opposite - was even one of the first victims of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Nevertheless, there are still many examples of the typical GDR architectural style in former East Berlin, such as the monotonous prefabricated high-rise buildings and numerous representative buildings of the former SED power apparatus. Come with us to visit the places where the "spirit of the GDR" can still be felt and the typical "GDR architecture" can still be seen.
