In what ways did German society change?

Importance of the SED Organisations led and controlled by the party leaders ‘Democratic centralism’ strict hierarchical structures and no room for decision making within the party ‘The undisputed leader of the workers’ movement’

Secret Police Stasi Closely modelled on Soviet secret intelligence service By ,000 staff Bigger than the Gestapo Informal members Could be arrested without charge

Upward social mobility Be politically committed to the system ‘Socialist intelligentsia’ committed to the new system: the professional classes

Welfare Free health care Pensions Day care Unemployment benefit not provided

Mass Organisations State controlled Free German Trade Union League Virtually every worker a member Run by the state and controlled by SED policies Represented workers interests: organising holidays in trade union owned hotels, hostels across the GDR

Democratic Women’s League of Germany Cultural, creative and artistic pursuits Society for Sport and Technology German Gymnastics and Sports League German-Soviet Friendship Society foster food relations between Germans and former arch enemies State run youth organisations: Free German Youth

"Free German Youth: The fighting reserve of the SED."

"The GDR: Our Socialist Fatherland."

The poster for Stalin's 73rd birthday in The text translates as: "Long live the standard bearer of peace. the best friend of the German people."

Religion and the Churches 17 million Protestant 1 million Catholic Marxist view of religion: ‘sign of an oppressed creature’ and was doomed to ‘wither away’ under the new Communist society Despite good relations between some priests and pastors, the SED helped the ‘withering’

At first seemed exempt from changes made by communist authorities. Church owned land wasn’t taken in the land reform of 1945

But.... Religious instruction removed from the school curriculum 1950s confrontations between the state and the churches, SED campaign against Protestant youth group

Jungendweihe Jungendweihe: youth dedication service imposed It was a secular: incompatible with confirmation and commitment to God

Jungendweihe Those who refused would be discriminated against in school and prevented from going on to post compulsory education Church eventually conceded that the Jungendweihe was compatible with confirmation Page 151 Jungendweihe oath

Youth Free German Youth: fight against Western influences Give military training Support community projects to build up the socialist economy: harvest work and basic building work

Youth and Education Compulsory to learn Russian Schools to have close links with industry. Twinning arrangements between schools and factories meant that young people gained practical work experience Generous scholarships

Free German Youth organisation, Ernst Thalmann Young Pioneers 6-14 Camp trips, adventurous outgoings Trips to Buchenwald where Thalmann had been murdered. He was seen to be a leader of anti-fascist resistance

Alternate youth 1950s and 1960s culture: Beatles, Elvis very popular SED: anti-American Radio station DT64 played 40% Western music
