The National Reconstruction Work (NAW) of the GDR was founded in November 1951 and supported by the National Front for voluntary, non-profit and unpaid work, which was originally intended to implement construction projects in East Berlin and was then extended to the entire GDR.

In the 1960s, the NAW was replaced by the campaign Schöner unsere Städte und Gemeinden – Mach mit!
