GDR – dream interpretation
The German Democratic Republic, known as “GDR” for short, existed between 1949 and 1990. This state emerged from the division of Germany after 1945 and developed out of the Soviet occupation zone. Many East Germans of the older generation still speak Russian because the language was taught in schools in the GDR.
This was also the reason why the GDR was largely dependent on the Soviet Union (today’s Russia) during its 40-year existence. The GDR saw itself as a “socialist state of workers and farmers”, but the state system was not well received by all citizens. That’s why the threatening emigration movement was drastically stopped in 1961 by the construction of the Berlin Wall.
The German Democratic Republic finally came to an end through a peaceful revolution by citizens, which culminated in the fall of the Wall on November 9, 1989. This ultimately led to German reunification, which brought with it completely new challenges for both “Wessis” and “Ossis”.
