East German Design

Here is a fascinating article about product design that evolved during the communist regime in East Germany, 1945-1989. Out of curiosity, I checked out the reference to the original source, Der Spiegel's award-winning history site called einestages.de. It was enough to make me want to learn German as I really don't like those on-line translators. If you have any interest in history and the arts - and your German is passable - this is a site you should know better. Thanks to LGF for the link.
