East Berlin 1979. The frontage of the Palast der Republik, the seat of government of the DDR. The massive communist symbol of the state seen here was the first thing to disappear when the East German Communist party (SED) lost power in 1990. It was never officially abolished, apparently, just forgotten about once Germany reunited.
