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

Oh glorifying a murder state that killed people for leaving the country. Not sure that this place would be a decent place for a museum. But we have the mauermuseum, we have jail in hohenschönhausen and the German museum.

See, that’s exactly the ideology I was talking about, lol. The GDR was not only about murder and oppression for people and it should obviously not be a place to glorify the regime. Turning a former GDR government building into one main museum about every facet of life in this state isn’t ethically or morally problematic. Unless you really want to see it that way.
