last few days, I've already written, I have the book "DDR - Reality and Hope" Published by GNN. In reading the individual contributions of course come up memories, especially if of places or events mentioned, where I was or where I have participated.
Today I want this - make memories with the aspect of the gray everyday life in the GDR - mean.
This is pretty much the most innocent, what one hears. "For you, everything was gray, everything planned out from birth to death, no swerving possible.. - Just boring I said, these are probably the nicest comments when speaking my colleague or colleagues about my country
Yes, many private photographs, including As late as 1989, were black. Most of the white TVs that were in East German households, radiated only from black-and-white images. The houses in town and country lacked the bright sign, which today hurts sometimes just in the eyes.
War, therefore, our life-gray and dreary?
was my not, definitely not. On breaks from school I can remember yourself. Images show, however, as a two year old, I was on the Baltic, as a 5-year-old in Albrecht, in Thuringia, where there uses the memory of an experience already back.
The school, however, is very present. I could hardly read, I was a regular guest of the Auto Library, which held almost every Thursday in front of our house. Later I walked through the park to Parkaue, the Central House of the Young Pioneers "German Titov" has had numerous books. A Christmas party once led by the work of my mother's also there are theaters of friendship. Only the name and the subject remained istmir present "Snow Ball" and racism, even if I have the time probably still not called.
From my many visits to different camps here was already mentioned, by my participation in the preparatory camp at the X. World Festival in the pioneer camp at Frauensee and X. Festival itself
were given the annual day hike, we took from the school or the school trips.
pioneer afternoon, sometimes with recyclables, sometimes with kite flying, with wall paper tinker. Timurhelfer? Sure, for years I wore älternen people the coals from the basement and went shopping for them.
It was all planned, of course, times of the pioneer organization, sometimes by the FDJ, or the People's Solidarity, whose members came mostly in the schools to be new Timurhelfer.
sport? Also, as could choose. Certainly could not do that all in such a varied selection like me. Not only that I lived in Berlin, no, it was also against the Sports Forum in Berlin-Hohenschoenhausen, so that the offer was almost überbordernd. And while my sister early on decided to speed skating, and later as Spartakiadekämpferin B-squad of the GDR, the certificates, medals and international training camps only to collect enough, my only ambition to try. Gymnastics, of course, speed skating, athletics and swimming, table tennis later, I admit, I had the right stamina for any of these sports.
All planned no one, that was my free choice, it cost my parents money and if I did not feel like I have not logged out and tried something new.
table tennis was then guilty that I was a teenager, a new hobby. In Hohenschönhausen there was a youth club, named after Victor Aronstein, who in the thirties of last century in Alt-Hohenschönhausen lived and died in Auschwitz.
Sunday was played in the youth club table tennis, so I ended up there and one for the next 4 years at the club active. Sounds to me all neither gray nor depressing, more like a beautiful childhood.
But with 17 yes heard my life in the GDR does not occur. As apprentices had friends and I was a theater ticket, which gave us in three years, teaching a total of 18 theatrical events, we could afford and that of 100.00 (1st year) - monthly 150.00 (3rd year) Mark of the GDR pay.
As yet the harvest were used in the first two weeks of study, student summer 1982 in Berlin, 1984 again a torchlight procession to 35. Anniversary of the GDR and and and.
Sure, this variety of leisure activities ceased at some point. Was married, children came and then the family life was very new importances. Nevertheless, vacations, yes of course away within the GDR and in Hungary, Poland or Czechoslovakia, short trips to the Baltic Sea, Neubrandenburg was not so much, again and again Berlin and Karl-Marx-Stadt, all included with children and our profession to our daily lives. Gray? Trist?
