[@josephm3966]

Sorry if I'm reading this wrong, but surely you didn't work with an easy German whilst living in west Germany. Could you give more context to this I am very interested to hear

[@charlotteice5704]

@@josephm3966 my boss is from East Germany. Although he would prefer to live in the east (the people are much more direct and honest there), he settled here because he and his wife found work here and stuff. After the GDR ended, many East Germans moved west, actually (for better economic opportunities), so there are many people from the former GDR living here. ETA: since the 9th November 1989, people in East Germany have been free to travel. The GDR officially ended on 3rd October 1990. Moving from East to West Germany is about as complicated as moving from Memphis to Nashville. We're a unified country. The reason why I'm making the east-west distinction is that although it's one and the same country, differences do persist - the economy is still less developed in the former GDR, older East Germans (40+) have a far different mentality as they were raised in communist propaganda, and there are the usual cultural differences between regions in Germany such as different traditional foods, different traditional clothing, different traditional festivals, different dialect and a different type of person.

[@borisstanislav4560]

The 'Fit' brand had 80% or more of market share in East Germany and they were gonna just let it die out, thankfully a smart entrepeneur save it.

Shocked you didn't mention Vita-Cola! Vita-Cola returned when Thüringer Waldquell secured the rights to the name and formula and began producing it in 1994. They even sponsored a football club in the early 2000s in Rostock! But that aside, gotta love how the EU is so serious about protecting regional foods. It's like how San Marzano tomatoes are special because of the volcanic soil used to grow them in that region. Dresdner Stollen is special symbolically as it was sent to West Germany by GDR citizens as a way of thanking them for sending care packets. The history of Stollen is quite interesting. Dresden Stollen was first documented in 1474. During Advent, bakers were not allowed to use butter, only oil, and the cake was tasteless and hard. They had to persuade to several popes as oil was expensive in Saxony and was hard to come by. Pope Nicholas V said no, and it didn't take until 1490 for Pope Innocent VIII to grant the use of butter. When Saxony became Protestant, this restriction on butter was removed, and overtime, richer ingredients like marzipan was added.

[@Dirk_Taggesell]

There are many products that originated in the DDR and are still on the market. There had to be a selection, else the video would be eight hours long :)

Vita-Cola is actually pretty dope. Would recommend!

[@AnoNymInvestor]

Yeah it is really good, especially cooled.

[@oliviersimonnin6983]

Thank you very much for answering! This Dresdner Kuchen must be delicious as the same time...

[@verybighomer]

Dresdner (Christ)Stollen was always a popular Christmas treat with a very good reputation even in the West before reunification. It was often sent by families living in the GDR to family members living in the West for Christmas.

[@auChevalierRed]

Not having any family in Germany, nobody has ever sent me any, but I always order some myself for everyone here. It's simply delicious.

[@ursinodepeluche]

Auch Russisch Brot gab es in Westdeutschland, etwa von Bahlsen.

[@auChevalierRed]

@@ursinodepeluche Das stimmt.

[@Manaklyps]

My grandfather in Dresden always baked it himself, otherwise grandma always baked everything else, but the Stollen was grandpa's responsibility. After the war, he had to give up studying because the school had been bombed out and he then learned to be a baker, which was quite helpful to survive.

[@auChevalierRed]

@@Manaklyps Dresden was left in ruins after the war, that was really uncalled for. But I am glad your grandfather learned to be a baker, you must have enjoyed your Christmas dinner at your grandparents ! Did you learn to make it yourself from him ? Not necessarily to become a baker, but German Stollen and breads are a treat!

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

For those who don't know: The Red Tower is the oldest structure in Chemnitz. Whether it's called that because of the red porphyry tuff or the long use as a dungeon remains a mystery. It is mentioned as early as 1466! It is believed it is the remains of a 12th-century keep that oversaw early market trading on the Aue (floodplain) in Chemnitz, and the residence of the town magistrate, who was appointed by the emperor. Its use as a prison is only documented from the 16th century onwards. In 1570, it had 13 cells for 19 prisoners. It was still being used as a prison in 1840, when the city walls had already been dismantled. It burned down during WWII in 1945 but was completely renovated after 1990. Another GDR product is Club Cola. The government announced a project to create the drink at the 1966 Leipzig Spring Fair, and was first bottled in East Berlin in April 1967. Club Cola is still available in Germany today, however it is not made according to the same recipe as the drink that used to be sold in the GDR, since the original formula was lost in 1990 when the former brand owners were going bankrupt.

[@EdMcF1]

Thank you Dear Leader.

Very revealing. As a visitor to the DDR in the 1980s, the small town of Raguhn near Halle, the VEB Ogis factory produced various fruit juices. All delicious, and the Rhubarb and Orange was superb... the name still brings back the unique taste to my mind. Sadly RIP.

Another East German brand that is still around is Piko, who make model trains. Their product is much larger now than it was in the DDR-era, with trains being produced in N, TT, HO and G scales. They've even bought tooling from a defunct American company. What's confusing though, is there is a British company that makes track called PECO and they're pronounced the same way.

In August of 2022, my wife and I had a meal in Berlin at a nice restaurant adjoining a huge open-air atrium. Being in Berlin for the first time and nearing the end of our stay, I decided to have sausage. My plate was provided with some little squeeze packets of Bautz’ner mustard which kinda surprised me. I thought our restaurant was a little too upscale for condiment packets. I loved the mustard, though, and I pocketed the extra packets when we left the restaurant. It looks like a regular yellow American “ballpark” mustard but it’s not vinegary. It’s really good. When I got back to the US, I was able to order some via Amazon. I’m running out now but shipping is too expensive for me to buy it again. Until I figure out something, I’m rationing my squeeze bottle.

In german super markets you can buy buckets of 1000mL of "Bautzner Senf". And it's very affordable.

@@ikemkrueger I don't buy mustard that often but the small bucket of Bautzner Senf was €0.29 in 2018 and I think it's currently at roughly €0.50.

Hello, what about making a combined order for many more goods to an actual German shop online or brick and mortar shop) ? I'm French, and our postal company makes it nearly as expensive for me in France to order from neighbouring countries as to order from much further away. And so I make a big to huge order of lots of different kind of products from Germany once or twice a year. If not all, many of these specialties, but also other food, being much cheaper in Germany than in France, when the order is big enough, the heavy postage bill disappears in the difference. And if friends or family members join in, then all the better, you can sample quite a few things and pick what you'll order more of. Many sites in Germany also offer a bulk rate price on items, handy with goods having to be eaten with a short time once opened if you are a small family
