ROSTOCK in 1984 - still in DDR-times

by globetrott - last update: May 19, 2003



I came only once into the DDR - the so-called " German Democratic Republic "

M/S Vistafjord had Rostock on the schedule for a port of call during a cruise, and so I had a short look into the socialist paradise...

I never wanted to visit the DDR, as long as " the wall " existed...

...BUT, seen from the sea-side there was NO wall, so I gave it a try....

 Interesting photos from the former GDR times. I especially like the tram photo. Well done.

 Michael, this is an excellent glimpse of the "good old times..." (as Ingo put it!). I wonder what it is like there NOW!

 Nice glimpses of Rostock in DDR times. I spent a week there for a conference in November 1989 -- the week the wall was opened! Strange euphoric atmosphere that they have not had before or since.

 Oh yes ... the good old times :-) Thanks for sharing these insight views from outside LOL Cannot believe it was like this, and only 15 years ago?
