The Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate can be called the main symbols of the glorious war of Germany and the peaceful revolt. The border between the NDR and the FRF did not only pass through Berlin, although it itself was a significant part of it - the front line of the Cold War.

It disappeared two decades ago. Others followed her. You can drive across almost the whole of Europe in a car without ever having to show your documents. And yet, if at the next turn of the autobahn there is a brown shield “Deutsche Teilung 1945-1990”, which reminds us of the half of Nimecchini, it seems that we are not at ease.

Mirror for control

Between two systems

The "German - German" cordon was one of the "deaf" in the world. This great dinner totaled 1378 kilometers. In almost every way, it was equipped with parkan, spiny dart and other fortifying spores. There were control brackets located about a half kilometer from the side of the NDR. There were about 630 of them. Before the fall of leaves in 1984, 440 kilometers of the cordon were equipped with SM-70 self-propelled devices. It was close to 60 thousand.

Pricordonna Vezha

The number of those who died during the hour trying to escape to Zakhid, according to other estimates, exceeds 800 individuals, of whom the prosecutor’s office officially identified 270 deaths. The supers from the drive of these numbers are triggered immediately, perhaps 20 years after the establishment of the German-German cordon.

Around the world, the number of successful routes from the People's Democratic Republic to Zakhidnaya Nimechchyna has been gradually changing. From 13 September 1961, the date of the Berlin Wall, until the end of 1962 more than 14 thousand refugees were registered, in 1964 – 3155, in 1974 – 969. In 198 5 roci from the NDR without a center through the cordon for a total of 160 persons.

Signal cone

Memorial complex Marienborn

About the large cordon, there are checkpoints in many places. In one of them today we will make a link, having left the autobahn between the federal state of Lower Saxony and the similar state of Saxony-Anhalt.

On the federal highway A2, you go up to the “stuff” of a huge “salt curtain” with an area of ​​7.5 hectares and the sign reads: “Memorial complex Marienborn”. There is a lot of traffic around the gas station and service center. Behind them is a parking lot with the sign "Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung Marienborn". Entrance is cat-free. It seems that the wind is blowing, and tangles of thorns are rolling across the deserted area, as though unexpectedly the stars have arrived - tumbleweeds.

The checkpoint between the occupation zones on the autobahn, which connected Berlin and Hanover, was open right after the war - in 1945. In 1950, the Russian army transferred the checkpoint under the control of the ruling PDR. During the blockade of Berlin from 1948 to 1949, the checkpoint was not completed.

Capital life

The complex, which was preserved by Donina, was built in 1974. Vіn occupying 35 hectares. The checkpoint at Marienborn became the largest on the German-German border. Inspection and control of passenger, passenger and private transport, as well as private security, was ensured by up to 1000 border guards, militia and military personnel of the Ministry of State Security ("Stasi") of the NDR. You were on an important route near the bank of Berlin. Through this route there was also transit from the FRN and other powers of Western Europe to Poland and other countries of the neighboring bloc.

In this place, cordons were standing around the checkpoint of the Russian army and the Western allied powers - the USA, Great Britain and France, who were looking around their transport, crossing the internal German cordon.

Zebra crossing on the highway

The Western German checkpoint was located at the neighboring settlement of Helmstedt in Lower Saxony. The remains of power of the Federal Republic did not recognize the stationary nature of the cordon, the control point on the back side was not capital, but rather temporary in nature. Many times there was no effort to push, which led to a lot of trouble. In connection with this, Helmstedt's parking lot was expanded, as well as the number of gas stations, cafes and restaurants. The stench rose along the sides of the Autobahn.

There was no underground or overpass at this place, so right on the autobahn there was a “zebra crossing” painted - a quirk in the history of German Swedish highways that is unique, even anecdotal.

On June 30, 1990, the checkpoint at Marienborn was closed, and the status of a historical monument was immediately revoked. In 1992, the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt decided to build a memorial complex on its basis.

Walking through the Kolishny checkpoint

Already in the distance you can see great people with magnificent spotlights. The tension of the skin from 12 ridges became 8000 W. In the morning, light flooded the entire territory of the checkpoint. "Marienborn" has an autonomous energy supply system. When connected to external life, the emergency units switched on after 20 seconds.

In each of the booths there were X-ray machines for checking luggage and private cars, as well as rooms for special inspection. A visual inspection of cars and buses was carried out with the help of special stationary and manual mirrors.

Between the headquarters and the control point for private transport, a morgue has been opened to inspect bodies that are transported to the FRN and other foreign countries and, in similar cases, from these powers - from the PDR. Immediately I attended the medical center for sickness control. The booths were connected by a secret system of underground passages and tunnels, which not all checkpoint officials knew about.

Zaboronny signs

According to official data, in the last five months, checkpoint inspectors carried out inspections of as many as 10 million passenger cars and about 5 million vans.

A unique phenomenon that is now, melodiously, always one of the key features of Berlin - the Wall. Berlin itself was not spared in the 20th century by being divided into two independent parts, which in no way overlap one another. The history of the world has very few precedents of this kind and on such a scale.

For those of us who are in Berlin, it is timely to equate the two different parts of us, which have developed in completely different ways throughout history. But it’s no less important to go along the same lines, as many rocks have shared one place

1. Feed shodo Stіni can be quiet and impersonal. Moreover, as well as separation, and as well as 30-hour separate living, and as well as unification. How did the routes of public transport, telephone communications, sewerage, and postal services change? How the coming Berlin was seen from the outside world. How, when everything was combined, it was the same - why did the NDR buses go to the outskirts of Berlin and inadvertently?

2. As you know, Berlin entered through the division of Germany after the 2nd Light War. Like all of Germany, so the capital was divided into 4 sectors: British, American, French and Radian. The first three merged and became the FRN, and Radyansky transformed into the NDR. Some parts of the Europeans showed strong principles and did not want to give up all of Berlin to the NDR in the name of the moneybags, and this is how the situation developed.

3. The strong cordon between the NDR and the FRN appeared here in 1954. However, it was possible to enter freely at Zahidny Berlin. There are a lot of NDR dissidents who wanted to be called from the Soviet Union to the beautiful Sunset World for many years and years. The shop was closed down in 1961 when the wall that had become part of the bourgeois enclave grew up literally overnight.

4. All the coming rocks around the PDR-ivskiy Germans searched for doors and penetrated to Western Berlin. And the NDR border guards caught them, and sometimes it ended up being lethal. The wall kept shaking and shaking. Before the speech, in addition to the expansion of the Duma, a return “migration” began. Nabagato mensha, nizh tudi, ale bula. Not everything was going smoothly for the FRN, with many aspects, most importantly social ones, of the NDR and its advances. What attracted many recent Germans was that they did not subscribe to the principles of capitalism.

5. The wall fell in 1989. Before the speech, just before the hour of the day, Berlin was celebrating the 25th anniversary of its fall. Naturally, we went to Yak. Nina can guess about the wall, just the fragments. In many places, the blocks in front of it have been lost, and along the entire length there is a tiled line with "Berliner Mauer" signs.

6. You can walk through the whole thing, but it only takes a few days, but it’s not so good, melodiously. And the best place is located near the center of Berlin.

7. Father. We start from Treptower Park station (new map). Here the cordon of Berlin is close to the Spree river. A monument to the union of the two Berlins was erected right on the water.

8. Culture

9. Rice production throughout the near-wall territory: large wastelands. The wall would occupy a wide area (to make it easier to catch the vandals). In fact, there was a mishmash that spread between the two walls. After the fall of the Wall, many of these territories became unclaimed.

10.

11. We will go further to the unique Oberbaumbrück metro bridge - an architectural monument. This is the first line of Berlin, opened in 1902. At one o'clock the walls of the train reached the remaining stations on the other side (as seen from the other side). There is still only one station on our route, Warschauer Strasse

12. Behind the bridge immediately begins a part of the wall that has been preserved. One of the most popular places among tourists. The same graphite that is in the title of the post can be found here.

13. I, honestly speaking, found the wall much taller and taller.

14. The graphite looks like a museum here

15. Our artists often get together here

16.

17. There are also souvenirs with powerful artifacts

18. Transit visa for the NDR for travel from the FRN to Zahidny Berlin.

19. The axis looks so friendly all over the place. Around 30 years ago, there was clearly less friendliness

20. Budynok, who stumbled in the Stіni zone, as a result of which it was destined to be abandoned. They decided not to fall in love with him, now there’s a squat there

21. Further, the wall turns to another side of the Spree. The flow of tourists is immediately subsiding. The exclusion zone was immediately turned into a boulevard.

22. We are passing the lake. Similar Berlin breezy baths adjoin the wall

23. That same episode, when the wall went across the narrow street and the little buildings came right up to it. Khrushchev right-handed – exit, Zliv’s mansions – entry.

24.

25. This place is 30 years old

26. These are all deaf places. Around Moritzplatz

27. Uncultured Germans park on lawns. Ah ah ah! Before the speech, to the right of the wall, then. Similar Berlin. Axis over there - the scourge of the Soviet Union!

28. It would seem, who knows, that there could be a Wall here. And from.

29. Or the axis is here

30. Monument to one of those who crossed the Wall

31. Zimmerstrasse. The street is completely overbooked, only the line can guess about the wall

32. And the Checkpoint Charlie axis. Drinking at home is also popular among tourists.

33. Tsikavo, right after the checkpoint the Americans on their side immediately cut down McDonald’s. I have entrusted the center of Berlin to now bury African-American blacks with the American ensign!

34. There is a small exhibition here, dedicated to the wall, numerical tests and climbing. For example, a group of young boys and girls managed to break through one of the checkpoints on a bus.

35. View of the Radyanskaya side.

36. The Berlin Wall Museum is located here. If you need to know the report about this phenomenon, you can introduce him. Before you speak, Radian ensign! Hello from one side of the country, now you can’t hang him like that.

37. We are approaching the next Gestapo booth. Nina there is a Gestapo museum.

38. To the Parliament of Berlin

39. We arrive at Potsdamerplatz. Nini is the largest transport university in the city. And in the era of the Wall, it was practically impossible to live here, everything was deaf and forgotten. The order of the NDR began to strive to change the presence of people on the outskirts of the wall.

40. Cordon Guard

41. The next step is to pass through the Brandenburg Gate. Reichstag. Then we go out until the new meeting. Berlin Hauptbahnhof station.

42. The magnificent glass of the blissful awakening. Apparently there are a lot of reasons for this.

43. There will also be a new tram line here. Before the speech, the tram is at the Skhodny Berlin. At the same time, if the boundary is actively expanding, you might as well not go to the exit part.

44. The wall is going to the bottom. I'm calling brezhnyuvannya again. However, it is necessary to clearly inform about the Radian districts of Berlin.

45. Sometimes the wall appears in completely unsettled places. Here they forgot to remove the blocks, here they overpowered them in a different way. The axis, for example, is like a door.

46. ​​And the axis in the other yard was preserved as a watch tower!

47.

48. Let's go. Liesenstrasse. These are all industrial zones.

49. Before the speech, did you show respect to this wondrous club? We met them in various places, but for a long time we could not understand what they needed. It’s amazing that there was a stink all over the walls. It turned out that preparations were underway for the Holy Day of the 25th. Bags were placed on this stick, as if at 19.00 9 leaves fell together into the sky.

50. Once again, you can feel the zone of alienation, which has now been turned into a park, a place where you can climb. nobles Here the wall turns back to the day.

51. Something that was saved.

52.

53.

54. The entrance to the metro, or more precisely to the underground station of the S-Bahn train called Nordbahnhof. Here, before the war, the Pivnichny Station was renovated. From behind the wall the station was closed for the first time, then they opened it.

55. There is a small exhibition dedicated to how the metro was divided under the hour of Stina. Unique schemes! Western Berlin.

56. Similar Berlin. In fact, most of the metro was lost from the Zakhidny part. At the meeting, line 5 and sectional line 2 were in full swing. Lines 6 and 8 also ran through this territory from Zakhidny Berlin to Zakhidny. At the stations of Skhidny Berlin the stench was not noticeable.

What do you want? For me, this is one of my favorite lands, where I am ready to return endlessly. Prote and for a long time she will not have enough time for this. It’s easy to know which Nimechchyna is connected to, and it’s also possible to combine a lot of routes from destinations in several countries. Of course, we didn’t disrespect Nimechina itself.

What countries does Nimechtina border?

This point has been sharpened from all sides by its colleagues in the European Union, there are 9 such countries:

• Denmark;
• Belgium;
• Holland;
• Poland;
• Czech Republic;
• Switzerland;
• Austria;
• Luxembourg;
• France.

What is the difference between these countries and Germany? It's simple. Do you want to go to Amsterdam? Fly with a low-cost airline to Dusseldorf, and return in just 4 years by bus. Have you ever dreamed of visiting Prasia? Go to Berlin, walk there, then take the train to Dresden (just 2 years), and take another year to Prague. At once - 3 amazing places can be compressed in just a couple of days, without particularly straining. Did you want to take France and Germany from the train? Easily! Ride at the entrance to Nimechtina, cross the cordon and immediately go to beautiful Strasbourg - the axis and another round of preparations. Well, if you love evenings more, you will go to Rostock. There you will see the seas, taste fresh squid and, fortunately, take a couple to Denmark. And there the rest of Scandinavia can be tightened.

In truth, it would seem, a simple cordon of Germany from another country - a view even more so. There are places where people stand side by side and are separated by just one street. There is a river that separates Germany from Poland, I will be at the capture, if the pawns cross the cordon and reach, as literally everything changes. And the place Aachen is beautiful. The cordons of three countries meet here - Germany, Belgium and Holland. Are you going to do this again? By the way, Aachen itself is very hot.

In my opinion, the border German places deserve a special trip - you definitely won’t do any harm. Try it, create new routes, don’t be afraid of long journeys - it’s impossible to fly through amazing places.

The capital of Germany, Berlin, dates back to the first half of the 13th century. Since 1486 the place has been the capital of Brandenburg (later Prussia), since 1871 it has been the capital of Germany. From May 1943 to May 1945, Berlin recognized one of the greatest ruins in world history, the bombing. At the final stage of the Great German War (1941-1945) in Europe, the Radian army was completely revolted on May 2, 1945. After the defeat of fascist Germany, the territory of Berlin was divided into occupation zones: one - the USSR and three zones - the USA, Great Britain and France. On June 24, 1948, the Radyansky soldiers began the blockade of Zahidny Berlin.

In 1948, the Western powers encouraged the heads of land orders in their zones of occupation to call a parliamentary council to develop a constitution and prepare for the creation of a Western German state. The first meeting was held with Bonnie on the 1st of June 1948. The Constitution was adopted on May 8, 1949, and on May 23 the Federal Republic of Germany (FRN) was voted on. At the conclusion of the similar part, controlled by the USSR, on June 7, 1949, the German Democratic Republic (NDR) was voted out and Berlin was voted in as its capital.

Similar Berlin occupies an area of ​​403 square kilometers and is the largest city in terms of population in Skhidny Germany.
Western Berlin covers an area of ​​480 square kilometers.

At first, the cordon between the entrance and exit parts of Berlin was open. The dividing line with a length of 44.8 kilometers (the outer length of the cordon between Zahidny Berlin and the People's Democratic Republic was 164 kilometers) ran straight through streets and booths, the Spree River, and canals. There were 81 street checkpoints, 13 crossings near the metro and on the Moscow street.

In 1957, the order of Zakhidna Nimechchina, along with Konrad Adenauer, introduced the Hallstein Doctrine, which transmitted the automatic rupture of diplomatic relations from any country that recognized the NDR.

At the end of the fall of 1958, the head of the Radyansky order, Mikita Khrushchov, called the Western powers from the destroyed Potsdam lands in 1945 and voted for the Radyansky Union to squelch the international status of Berlin. The Radyansky government ordered to transform Western Berlin into a “demilitarized free place” and demanded from the USA, Great Britain and France to hold negotiations on this topic for six months (“Khrushchev’s Ultimatum”). The Western powers accepted the ultimatum.

In the 1960s, the order of the NDR began to demarcate the population of the NDR in Skhidny Berlin. In the opinion of Zahidna Nymechchyna, the idea of ​​a trade area between both parts of the region was envisioned, which the NDR regarded as an “economic war.”
After troubling and important negotiations since 1st 1961, fate was introduced to suit.

The situation worsened in 1961. The economic policy of the NDR is aimed at “catching up and overtaking the FRN”, and an increasingly high level of labor standards, government problems, violent collectivization of 1957-1960, a higher level of payments and events in Zahidny Berlin prompted thousands of NDR citizens to go to Zahid.

Between 1949 and 1961, the fate of the People's Democratic Republic and Skhidny Berlin deprived a maximum of 2.7 million people. The flow of refugees may be half formed from young people to 25 years old. Today, between the Berlin sectors, close to a million people moved in both directions, who could change their minds about life here and there. In just one 1960 river, nearly 200 thousand people moved to Zahid.

At the meeting of the general secretaries of the Communist Parties of the Socialist Country on September 5, 1961, the NDR denied the necessary benefit of the similar European countries, and on September 7 at the meeting of the Politburo of the Socialist United Party The People's Republic (SEPN is a related German Communist Party) praised the decision to close the border of the NDR from Western Berlin. The 12th century was received with outstanding praise by the NDR Council of Ministers.

In the early days of September 13, 1961, temporary barriers were erected at the border between Western Berlin, and on the streets that connect Western Berlin with Western Berlin, brooks were laid out. Through the forces of the people's and transport police, as well as military units, all transport connections at the cordons between sectors were interrupted. In anticipation of the death of the border guards of the NDR, the Berlin civil servants began replacing the border fences with barbed wood with concrete slabs and a hollow structure. Before the complex of border fortifications, residential buildings were also included on the street Bernauer Strasse, where sidewalks were now installed in the Western Berlin district of Wedding, and buildings on the south side of the street - until Berlin in the district of Mitte. Then the order of the NDR ordered to wall up the doors of the booths and the windows of the lower surfaces - the burghers could only spend money in their apartments through the entrance from the courtyard, which lies before the City of Berlin. The decline of the Primus-like exile of people from apartments has begun, not only on Bernauer Strasse, but also in other border areas.

From 1961 to 1989, the river on the rich sections of the cordon of the Berlin Moor was revived several times. Initially, it was made of stone, and then it was replaced with adhesive concrete. In 1975, the rest of the reconstruction of the wall began. The wall was made of 45 thousand concrete blocks measuring 3.6 by 1.5 meters, which were rounded to make it difficult to move. Behind the boundaries of the place, the front fence also included metal grates.
Until 1989, the final anniversary of the Berlin Mur was 155 kilometers, the internal cordon between Western and Western Berlin was 43 kilometers, the cordon between Western Berlin and the NDR (outer ring) - 112 kilometers. The front concrete fence wall closest to West Berlin reached a height of 3.6 meters. She operated the entire outer sector of Berlin.

The concrete fence was 106 kilometers long, the metal fence was 66.5 kilometers, the earthen fence was 105.5 kilometers, and the tension was 127.5 kilometers. The white walls, as if on a cordon, were covered with traces of trace black.

Regardless of the harsh approach to the “illegal crossing of the cordon”, people continued to run “through the wall”, vikoryst sewer pipes, technical facilities, and spore mines. Over the course of the war, nearly 100 people died because of their gilts.

Democratic changes in the life of the People's Democratic Republic and other countries of socialist friendship, which began at the end of the 1980s, were part of the wall. On November 9, 1989, the new order of the NDR announced the uninterrupted transition from Berlin to Western Berlin and the perfect return. Nearly 2 million residents of the People's Democratic Republic experienced 10-12 days of leaf fall near Western Berlin. Immediately the spontaneous removal of the wall began. Official dismantling of the buildings near the present day in 1990, part of the wall was stripped as a historical monument.

On June 3, 1990, after the PDR was annexed to the FRN, the status of a federal capital in the unified Germany passed from Bonn to Berlin. 2000 years from Bonn to Berlin, having crossed the line.

Preparation material based on the information from the open sources

9 leaf fall of the coming and coming Germans indicate the 25-river fall of the Berlin Moore. This is one of the significant events of the twentieth century, which became the prologue to the unification of Germany. The Germans, who lived on different sides of the cordon, dreamed for long about the renewal of the unity of the nation. However, once the unification of Germany was resolved, it turned out that during the rocks of the founding of the wall, the “ossi” and the “weights” began to differ greatly from one another. And in the quarter century since the fall of the Berlin Moore, the values ​​in the mentality have not been erased.

Funding for the brains of the NRF

The annexation of Germany, which began immediately after the fall of the “Ganba Wall,” as the former FRN Chancellor Willie Brandt called it, was pure annexation. The NDR and Western Berlin reached the FRN warehouse on June 3, 1990. In these territories, the FRN Constitution was introduced in 1949, the animal kingdom of the FRN, and Germany became a member of the EU and NATO. Officials, officers of the army and special services of the NDR became aware of the lustrations.

Officially, the Berlin Moore never subsided. This dispute in the documentation of the NDR was called Antifaschistischer Schutzwall - “Anti-fascist defensive wall.” Formally, the wall was built in order to protect the citizens of democratic Germany from the penetration of revanchists and saboteurs from Western Berlin, who carried out provocations, acts of sabotage and fell.

In fact, the government of Walter Ulbricht, having tried to push the wave of qualified personnel to the end: in the economic war of the two German NDR, which flared up, ended in an unimaginable state. The young people obtained a low-cost lifestyle from similar German businesses, and worked in foreign German companies with high salaries. The economy was spending billions, and the rate of economic growth was falling. The senior Radian comrades, after easy greetings, gave the green light to the NDR, and life began to boil.

Along the border

On September 13, 1961, the army and paramilitary groups of robotics blocked the cordon, and the security guards went to the rescue. The next day the wall was ready. Then they were mined and reconstructed more than once. Until its fall in 1989, the Berlin Wall was a grandiose complex 155 kilometers long and 3.6 meters high, with fences made of metal mesh, earthen ditches, watchtowers and control systems. goyu. You can cross the cordon only through three checkpoints.

Acts of the Bastard of NDR Mali the right to pass “on that BIK”: Pencesіnari, Ti, to whom they vimaged Vidvіdati their own native reasons, to whom it was not possible to cross the Cordon for Roboti - a lifesh, water vasting. Reshti had the opportunity to joke about other paths. Sometimes by digging tunnels, sometimes by hang-gliding, sometimes by ramming a wall with a bulldozer. The German border guards hounded the robbers, and for the inability to stop the criminal, they shot to kill. In total, over five thousand people marched to Zakhid for data from the NDR, and 125 people died when they tried to break the Berlin Wall. The investigators are going to talk about 136 dead, revealing to them the most suspicious deaths and all the killed border guards.

There were also those who tried to cross the cordon at the gateway, and among them there were also victims. In total, 410 people fled to the gathering, most of whom were those who had previously “chosen freedom”, but then, for these and other reasons, decided to turn back for free. As soon as the crossing began, the walls collapsed.

And yet, the Berlin Wall could not completely divide Germany. There is no single cultural expanse anywhere. Two more years after the rise of power in the NDR, the concept of “German colossus” existed - the FRN colossus, who, having arrived at the Meeting, could vote in elections to the parliament of the NDR. Until 1965, athletes from the PDR and FRN competed at the Olympics on the same team. Until 1969, there was a single confederation of Protestant churches in both parts of Nimecchina - the Evangelical Church of Nimecchina. Only after the NDR and the FRN established diplomatic relations in 1973, and the NDR was admitted to the UN, the founding of two German powers became an internationally known fact.

The wall stood until 1990. Since from the outset everything was a fenced-off barrier, then from the outgoing step it was gradually transformed onto a magnificent canvas, on which the cobs and venom of the artists painted to their satisfaction with graphite. On November 9, 1989, the NDR order allowed free passage through the cordon, and in 1990 they began to demolish the walls. In less than 11 months, everything was scrapped: as soon as the dirty spores were lost, a section of 1.3 kilometers was transferred to the monument. And in 2010-2012, a permanent memorial complex dedicated to the Berlin Wall was opened near Berlin. It cost 28 million euros.

Discount price

When the Berlin Wall stood, “Ossi” and “Wessi”, as the residents of the NDR and the FRN called themselves, dreamed about those stinks. However, after this happened, it became clear that the invisible wall between them was preserved and the story became a treasure. “Growing up the nation,” as the great FRF Chancellor Willie Brandt so optimistically spoke about in 1989, is still not something to be afraid of. After a quarter of a century, between the “ossi” and the “vessi” there is a persistent barrier through differences in traditions, religion, mentality, income and language. At the gathering they realize that at times they feel like inferior hulks. It’s not surprising that the obedience has cost so many people in the NDR dearly.

As determined by the FRN, the economy of the German Democratic Republic was unsustainable and uncompetitive, technologies were at least 10 years ahead of the curve. This can be judged from the “plastic car” “Trabant”, for which the NDR has accumulated a lot of life. The unattractive appearance of the Trabi motorcycle engine, as the Germans often called it, did not allow the car to compete with modern cars from the FRN.

Trabant cars were produced in the People's Democratic Republic from 1957 to 1991. The design of the car has not changed in principle. The main feature of the “Trabant” is the body, made of plastic, and not metal, which is in short supply in the NDR. These cars are not cheap to purchase, so they enjoy great popularity among collectors.

Due to the lack of preparation for the market economy, almost all the great enterprises of the NDR closed, and millions of people lost their jobs. In search of higher salaries, there are plenty of people who rushed to the end of the country. In some areas the situation was close to catastrophic. As Die Zeit writes, “engineers who worked in the People’s Democratic Republic retrained as door workers, and the ceramic workers at the enterprises became salesmen or truck drivers.”

Nowadays, the industry of similar lands without Berlin does not outweigh the ten-hundredth economy of Germany. Taxes per capita for the average population - 940 euros, for -1840 euros. The level of family income is 20 hundred thousand less than that of the Federal Reserve. The average cost per year of working hour at entry is 29.6 euros, at exit – 22.3 euros.

The “ossi” work a lot on the way out, only returning home on the weekends. In the pursuit of wealth, it’s easy for a guy to start a family. The low population density and strong population growth created demographic problems in the territory of the NDR. Over the course of 25 years, the number of inhabitants of the western lands grew from 62 to 66 million, and at the same time decreased from 16 to 13 million. Tim is no less, there are a lot of similar Germans who turn home - it is seen as tight for small fatherly affairs.

As a sign of the maturity of the great mind, the “Ossies” became more and more nostalgic for the old way of life. 49 hundreds of residents of Skhidna Nimechchina based on the assertions: “The NDR had more good, less bad; There were problems, but you could live with them.” About eight hundred people believe that “Namechtina is small, with more advantages than shortcomings; the people live happy and prosperous, not in a united Germany.”

If the recent German People's Democratic Republic recognizes it as a police power, then they immediately respect it differently. They say that as a result of the unification, their national identity suffered, as they say, “their fatherlandism was destroyed and diminished.” At the gathering there are people who, as before, live in the NDR and love to hang out with their own people. Nowadays, young people between the ages of 13 and 25 know little about the unification of Germany and the fall of the Berlin Wall. During the course of the conversation, evidence often emerged that “the Berlin Wall is what it is from the film “Good Bye Lenin”.”

The late Germans initially thought that good results from the unification and actually annexation of the NDR to the FRN for the minds would be achieved immediately and without heavy financial injections. The reality disappointed them. Vlada is worried about investing a lot of money in the developments right away. Over the course of 25 years, the huge NDR pumped over two trillion euros into the economy. More than 60 hundred rubles - to reduce the social security of similar Germans. According to the German Institute of Economics (DIW), over the course of the period, companies spent 1.5 trillion euros more and earned less. According to the Infratest dimap tests, at least 48 hundred Germans were satisfied with their meals, usually young people.

It was almost clear that the FRN's foreign partners - France and Great Britain, almost in the 80s, regardless of all official statements, did not really want to reunify Germany , they are afraid that the Germans will again try to take Europe under their control. Margaret Thatcher told the Radyansky Union President Mikhail Gorbachov in a confidential conversation. “The rise of Germany is not for the benefit of Great Britain and not for the benefit of Western Europe. Forget about everything you read from the NATO communique. We don't need one single thing. We cannot allow anything that will destabilize the international atmosphere,” said Zalizna Ledi. This position was supported by the current President of France, Francois Mitterrand. In his words, the unification of the Germans “will cause the revival of the filthy Germans, who at one time dominated Europe.”

As history shows, it took almost a quarter of a century to patch up the inheritance of the split in the country that had lasted forty years. If you want to help here, culture and sports can come to help. The Germans know that the same smell can be felt during the football and Olympic Games championships.
