I suspect anti-communist propaganda in the paragraph that claims "The GDR was socialist but there was crony capitalism between SED executives"

There was a West German 'embassy' in East Berlin. Does anybody know:
Thanks! Meursault2004 01:10, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
the exact address was Hannoversche Strasse 30, postal code 1040 Berlin/GDR. it was not called embassy because West Germany never acknowledged GDR as foreign country (though as independent state), so the name was "Ständige Vertretung" (translates as "Permanent Representation"). if you visit Berlin, you might as well check the bar with the same name at Schiffbauerdamm 8 ;-) 84.151.174.79 ( talk) 11:33, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Wasn't the Eastern border of Berlin, Communist? or was East Berlin just the border of all Communist satellites created by Stalin after World War II? Sandy June 03:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
The article suggests that the USA maintained an embassy in East Berlin. This is not true. There was no ambassador to East Germany thus there was no embassy. According to [1], "With the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the U.S. Embassy to the German Democratic Republic on Neustädtische Kirchstrasse 4-5 and the U.S. Mission in West Berlin located on Clayallee in Berlin-Dahlem combined to become the “American Embassy Berlin Office.” The formal transfer of the American Embassy from Bonn to the building on Neustädtische Kirchstrasse in Berlin took place on July 7, 1999 - marking the end of the transitional period in which the U.S. diplomatic establishments in Bonn and Berlin functioned under the formula “one Embassy, two locations.” ," thus the so called embassy in East Berlin was actually just an office of the actual U.S. Embassy in Bonn. Furthermore, a specific date is available for when some diplomatic recognition took place. [2] tells about the recognition of East Germany by the "Four Powers" and their support for both states to join the UN. "On 26 November 1972, agreement is reached on a Basic Treaty governing relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The Four Powers announce their support for these two states to join the United Nations though emphasize that this would not effect their rights and responsibilities in Berlin." I assume that the United Kingdom and France also never actually maintained an actual embassy in East Berlin; I can not back up that assumption with any evidence. Trabant601 12:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
The British Embassy is now located on its prewar site in Wilhelmstrasse. What was on this site during the DDR period? Did the DDR respect this site as British property? Adam 10:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Where on UdL was the British embassy to the DDR? Also, my map shows the new US embassy as being on Ebertstrasse at the corner of Behrenstrasse - does it occupy the whole frontage between Pariser Platz and Behrenstrasse? (I must have walked past it but I don't recall noticing). Adam 14:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Where was the prewar US Embassy? Adam 02:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It seems a little surprising that embassies should have been given such absolutely prime sites in the centre of the city - the Russians on the UdL are another example. Adam 09:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
On the other hand the Italians and Japanese were out on Tiergartenstrasse (my next article perhaps), which was lucky for them since they didn't get blitzed as badly. Adam 10:28, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. By the way Lustgarten could use some work. Adam 10:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Agree, it should be merged!

Even on the narrowest possible screen the layout of this article is a total stuffup! You can't cram pictures and boxes into a fixed position without orphaning the text. Doesn't anybody ever use the Show preview? Don't the subsequent editors feel a cumpulsion to fix the mess?

in picture "Boroughs of East Berlin (as of 1987)": caption "Freidrichshain" should be "Friedrichshain"
East Berlin controlled most of the transportation while the wal was up. The train were controlled by the East even in West Berlin. Also, while the street car tracks were taken off in West Berlin to promote cars, East Berlin still uses them today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gdelga2093 ( talk • contribs) 23:42, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
"It was very dangerous to cross because of the presence of armed guards that were trained to shoot people that attempted to cross"
Can anyone correct this?--
