Stamps from GDR

The GDR was a Central European country on the Baltic Sea. In 1949, the Soviet zone of Allied-occupied Germany, including East Berlin, became independent as the German Democratic Republic (GDR or East Germany). In 1990, the GDR was dissolved and reunited with the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). Strictly speaking, the East German states and Berlin (reunified East and West Berlin) joined the German Federal Republic, which from then on was simply called Germany.

De DDR was een Centraaleuropees land aan de Oostzee. In 1949 werd de Sovjetzone van het door de Geallieerden bezette Duitsland, inclusief Oost-Berlijn, onafhankelijk als de Duitse Democratische Republiek (DDR of Oost-Duitsland). In 1990 werd de DDR opgeheven en herenigd met de Duitse Bondsrepubliek (West-Duitsland). Strikt genomen traden de Oost-Duitse deelstaten en Berlijn (herenigd Oost- en West-Berlijn) toe tot de Duitse Bondsrepubliek, die vanaf dan gewoon Duitsland wordt genoemd.
