Volkskammer

The Volkskammer (, "'''People's Chamber'''") was the parliament of East Germany. Formally, it was the supreme organ of power in the state, and (in accordance with the principle of unified power) its only branch of government, with all other state organs subservient to it. In practice, however, like most communist parliaments, it was a rubber stamp body that did little more than ratify decisions already made by the SED Politburo.
