Encyclopedic overview
Today part ofGermany From 1949 East and West Germany had identical flags, however, in 1959 a new East German flag was promulgated which included the national emblem, thus distinguishing the two states.
East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was a country in Central Europe from its formation on 7 October 1949 until its reunification with West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) on 3 October 1990. Until 1989, it was generally viewed as a communist state and described itself as a socialist workers' and peasants' state.
