The GDR badge “Collective of Socialist Work” .... was a collective award in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). To be awarded the title, the collectives, brigades, departments and otherwise designated teams in business, teaching, art, culture, military, etc. had to meet billable requirements. It was about fulfilling political, cultural and professional demands as well as adhering to socialist morals and ethics. The two-part medal consists of a clasp with a bronze-colored edge and a square pendant. The national emblem of the GDR (hammer, compass and ears of wheat) is applied in the middle. The pendant has the shape of a square and is rounded at the corners. The metal is embossed. Obverse: a red painted grained center field with a hammer and compass is shown. There is an ear of corn on each of the left and right edges. On the back the purposeful inscription “LEARN AND LIVE SOCIALIST WORK”. Material: embossed metal Dimensions: Clasp: 2.7 cm x 1.1 cm / Pendant: 3.2 cm x 3.2 cm The medals may look slightly different than in the photos. The storage box may also vary.

*** *** *** I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr. I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less. By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you! thx, stampolina For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible.

As I wandered through the streets of Berlin, the architecture of typical buildings caught my eye. They stood as silent narrators of the city's diverse historical and cultural tapestry. The harmonious blend of old and modern architectural elements reflected a city evolving while embracing its rich past. The clean lines, neutral hues, and orderly facade arrangements resonated with a sense of structured elegance inherent in Berlin's architectural ethos. The buildings, with their well-defined forms and modest embellishments, exuded a quiet charm amidst the bustling urban setting. They seemed to invite a pause, a moment of reflection on the city's journey through time, and its forward-looking spirit. The symmetrical windows, subtle ornamental details, and the gentle interplay of shadows and light created a visual rhythm that echoed the orderly yet dynamic essence of Berlin. Berlin, with its unique blend of historical gravitas and modern vibrancy, offers a captivating exploration of architectural narratives. Each building, with its distinctive character yet harmonious design, contributes to the city's architectural melody, creating a visual narrative that speaks of both tradition and modernity. Through my lens, I aimed to capture the subtle elegance and the architectural narrative of Berlin's typical buildings. This photograph is a visual exploration of Berlin's architectural harmony, a tribute to the city's balanced blend of the old and the new. The print invites one to delve into the structured beauty of Berlin's urban landscape, to explore the visual storytelling encapsulated in its typical buildings. © Dan Kosmayer, 2013
This is a rare mechanical women's watch called "RUHLA", made in 1970s.. in East German part, that time been occupied by USSR. The watch is really for collectors of gurman's , as it is more collectible than wearable. The watch works great, has been serviced and oiled regularly. Diameter 29mm (without crown) Comes with brand new leather band. Antimagnetic, East Germany, formally the German Democratic Republic or GDR (German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik, or DDR), was a state within the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War period. From 1949 to 1990, it administered the region of Germany which was occupied by Soviet forces at the end of the Second World War—the Soviet Occupation Zone of the Potsdam Agreement, bounded on the east by the Oder–Neisse line. The Soviet zone surrounded West Berlin, but did not include it; as a result, West Berlin remained outside the jurisdiction of the GDR. All my watches are regularly maintained by professional watchmaker and full regular service routine is done prior to shipping! If you need any advice or help, please do not hesitate to text me, i will be glad to help and share my professional watchmaker's experience and knowledge. 3 Months Guarantee comes with each of my watches!!!
