  The German Democratic Republic - GDR (Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR in German, informally called East Germany by the West) was the communist state established in 1949 in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany and in the East Berlin portion of the Allied-occupied capital city. The German Democratic Republic, which consisted geographically of northeast Germany rather than all of eastern Germany.
