Leben in der DDR

Leben in der DDR (Life in the GDR) is a non-fiction work featuring photography by Thomas Höpker and text by Eva Windmöller. The authors, who served as accredited Stern journalists in East Germany for two years, provide an insider's perspective on the social conditions, daily routines, and atmosphere of life behind the Iron Curtain during the late 1970s. The book serves as a visual documentary, contrasting the official public image of the GDR with the private realities experienced by its citizens. It is part of the 'Stern-Bücher' series published by Gruner + Jahr.
