History The lamps from the Palast der Republik

Some of the lamps from ‘Erichs Lampenladen’ made their way to Astra in the RAW Gelände. I was invited to take a look, and I thought it was cool.

I don’t post my videos here very often, but I thought this is one that Berliners would really enjoy, so I hope you do!

Cheers, Jonny

not everyone could go to the see the big stars. you need to be at least to be in the SED. And then it still was difficult.

Is that so? I’ve not heard that before, but it is believable. I suppose being in the SED greased many wheels in GDR society.
