From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

East German language includes two divided vocabularies used in East Germany - the official Socialist one (Newspeak [1] ) and critically joking everyday life wording. [2] [3] [4]

The word 'Der Führer' (Adolf Hitler) was replaced:

  • Führerschein - Fahrerlaubnis

Examples

[edit]
  • Kader - personnel
  • Grossvieheinheit - cow
  • Winkelement - flag
  • Jahresendflügelfigur - Christmass engel
  • der antifaschistische Schutzwall - Berlin Wall
  • Kollektiv - work team
  • Tal der Ahnungslosen - two regions not able to receive TV programming from West Germany
