An Unfolded East German Special Poster (measures 16" x 22 1/2" [41 x 57 cm]) (Learn More) 750 Jahre Berlin (literally translates to "750 Years of Berlin"), the 1987 East German poster celebrating the 750th anniversary of the City of Berlin. Berlin is the capital and the largest city of Germany, and was first documented in the 13th century. After World War II, the city was split into East Berlin (capital of East Germany) and West Berlin (capital of West Germany), and the Berlin Wall was constructed to physically divide the city. Following German reunification in 1990, Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany. Interestingly, both halves of the city celebrated this event independently, and each side tried to "outshine" the other. The East had a victory parade of Socialist achievements, and the West held a massive rock concert (which attracted 3000 East Germans to the Wall to listen, and it took 3000 police to disperse them). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the Hotel Stadt Berlin was built from 1967 to 1970 in the course of the redevelopment of Alexanderplatz when it was located in East Berlin. The building was part of East Germany's Interhotel chain, and was a four-star hotel with a panorama restaurant on the 37th floor and unusually fast elevators for the time and place. In 1993, after German reunification, it was renamed Forum Hotel Berlin, and after its acquisition by the Rezidor Hotel Group in 2003, it was renamed again to Park Inn. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has a few light creases scattered in various areas, but they are not very noticeable or distracting, and otherwise it is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
