DDR Passport


Fritz

Recommended Posts

A passport for citizens of the DDR, issued 1986, valid till 1989 for a woman born 1919 in Wien (Austria) and living in Perleberg, DDR, Theresia Bernhöft, geb. Zeißl.
There are numerous visa and transit stamps, having travelled relatively frequently to Austria via Czechoslowakia. Older citizens retired were easily able to get visas and travel to other countries (as they were no longer needed), younger people could not travel to non-Warsaw-Pact-Countries**  unless they travelled in groups or in an official status, as trusted members of the party. Even they were closely surveilled, and were never "alone" -  in case of any escape attempt.

** also known as RGW-Länder - Rat für gegenseitige Wirtschaftshilfe - Engl.: comecon, as opposed to Western Europe with the E.W.G. = Europäische Wirtschafts-Gemeinschaft (now called EU)
