A Day in East Berlin: Life Behind the Iron Curtain (1989) | Windows on the World
Footage of street scenes and daily life in East Berlin, the capital of the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR), also known as East Germany (Ostdeutschland). This footage was filmed on 12 July 1989. While the first pictures of the border guards patrolling the Berlin Wall are the kind most often associated with East Berlin, as the camera crew journey into the city, the viewer quickly becomes acquainted with the ordinary rhythms of civilian life.
Windows on the World brings you extended footage of cityscapes, street scenes, and snapshots of daily life from around the world at a certain point in time. A place and a time: that’s all there is to it. Whether you want to indulge your wanderlust, lose yourself in a time long gone, or find an ambient soundscape to fill the silence, Windows on the World has what you need.
