Dokumentationszentrum Alltagskultur der DDR, Historical museum in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany.
The Documentation Center for Everyday Culture of the GDR is a museum in Eisenhüttenstadt that collects and displays everyday objects from East German history. The exhibition includes household items, furniture, photographs, and documents that record how people lived during that era.
The museum opened in 1993 in a former kindergarten building following German reunification. It was created to preserve the material culture and daily life of East Germany for future generations.
The rooms show how people arranged their homes and the products they used in everyday life. You see how East Germans spent their free time and what values shaped their society.
The museum is located in central Eisenhüttenstadt and is easy to reach. The building is fully accessible with wheelchair ramps, so visitors with mobility needs can move through all the rooms without difficulty.
The museum's specialized library holds original publications from the GDR era, showing what books and magazines people could actually read at that time. This direct access to historical publications is rare in other museums.
