I found an original GDR Pin. At the bottom there is a protractor with two wheat thingies.
On the back is written:
SOZIALISTISCH ARBEITEN LERNEN UND LEBEN
which translates to:
learn and live to work socialist
I think its very pretty even though.
Oh my gosh where did you find these?! I need to know, ive always wanted DDR memorabilia, they’re probably my favorite socialist experiment (that and I’m in Germany).
Flea markets in Berlin can have some good stuff.
I’ve also found Soviet memorabilia at Swiss second hand stores.
A comrade gave me that one, but I found other pins before at a flea market. Another big help is to get organized.
I’m relatively recent in Germany, my German honestly sucks at the moment, but in a couple of years im hoping to study in Germany at university, so that’ll be a great time to do so. Problem is I’m in the West.
