Overview

East Germany

Less than five months after Great Britain, the United States and France established the Federal Republic of Germany in West Germany, the Democratic Republic of Germany is proclaimed within the Soviet occupation zone. Criticized by the West as an un-autonomous Soviet creation, Wilhelm Pieck was named East Germany’s first president, with Otto Grotewohl as prime minister. Approximately half the size of West Germany, East Germany consisted of the German states of Mecklenburg, Brandenburg, Lusatia, Saxony and Thuringia. Berlin, the former German capital, remained divided between West and East German authorities, even though it was situated deep within the communist Democratic Republic of Germany. East Germany ceased to exist in 1990, when its land and people were absorbed into the democratic Federal Republic of Germany.

Walter Ulbricht

Walter Ernst Paul Ulbricht was a German communist politician. Ulbricht played a leading role in the creation of the Weimar-era Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and later (after spending the years of Nazi rule in exile in France and the Soviet Union) in the early development and establishment of the German Democratic Republic. As the First Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party from 1950 to 1971, he was the chief decision-maker in East Germany. From President Wilhelm Pieck's death in 1960 on, he was also the East German head of state until his own death in 1973. As the leader of a significant Communist satellite, Ulbricht had a degree of bargaining power with the Kremlin that he used effectively. For example, he demanded the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961 when the Kremlin was reluctant.

Dawn of Man

"Greetings Walter Ulbricht, chairman and leader of the National Defense Council of East Germany. A child of a poor, working-class life, your career would be one dedicated to the pursuit of a communist Germany. Working to secure the power of the German Communist Party, you eventually rose to become a favourite of Stalin, becoming his appointed leader of the German Democratic Republic in 1960. Though your policies, and your infamous building of the Berlin Wall, would ultimately result in failure, your efforts to elevate the status of East German industry to rival that of the West would earn you a modest place amongst communist Germany's leaders.

Art by DarthKyofu

Comrade Ulbricht, you are once more presented with the opportunity to make East Germany a rival to the West. Can you build up and nationalize her industries for the good of all? Can you pursue technological advances to outpace your rivals? Can you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?"

Introduction: "Welcome. I am Walter Ulbricht, chairman of the National Defense Council of East Germany. Let's get to the matter at hand."

Introduction: "Hail comrade. I am Walter Ulbricht, your appointed chairman of the National Defense Council of East Germany."

Defeat: "Very well. I accept these terms."

Defeat: "I am shamed to have disappointed you, comrade Stalin."
