History and it still plays goodness to a 100 p. Is up and in history. And still exists today but at a different location again in an unusual venue by the way a former power station. Now another quake of german history is the fact that the split between east and west caused 2 different cuisines to develop one of the many restrictions people faced in east germany was the lack of fresh and high Quality Ingredients in a state controlled supply chain so quite a lot of imagination was required when it came to serving up a varied menu anyone who wants to taste some of those classic east german dishes can do so at a restaurant him berlin dining in an atmosphere reminiscent of an old east german establishment. Still was a classic east german dish that for visitors from the west it was also a source of confusion instead of an eskimo with mushrooms it was made with a sausage. Muslin ghosts in east germany had to be inventive in some ways with the jaeger schnitzel for instance where veal a scallop this high quality product is normally used we had to use pork. But that was also hard to come by so often so some housewives simply used a sausage rolls it was a western i felt awesome it ya post brewery and has been in restaurant specializes in de shows favorites in east germany is east German Version of eager schnitzel is a slice of chef sausage can change with flour one egg and breadcrumb and see that in front golden in carrot find. The fun is the m original recipe for the source to.

And whipped cream on it he said it takes you back to east german times thats a really good name english. Its nice anyway so i have command of the truck from but i remember that it used to look like this even the chairs are just as uncomfortable but for that the food is great for it but all of us are sure to get the gold and i guy had today was a favorite when we were young isnt off not so much when wed go out at night to the broiler pan and pick up a grilled chicken i mean she knew where to put it to feel as if it actually im from the west. Just here for a change my thoughts on those exact then we didnt make it over to the east much. It was often difficult to find the right ingredients in east germany many things were not readily available so east german stood in long lines especially when imported goods like bananas and oranges were on alpha regional ingredients played an Important Role in did. German cuisine provided simple every day satisfying meals. And. We made a lot of preserves sly and homemade foods for the hard times. To tighten the other warsaw pact countries also influenced east german cuisine let me show you is a fixed you from hungary and is a big spicy soup from russia with sausage and scraps. In east german restaurants you have to wait to be seated but that had more to do with the shortage of tables. Them with customer friendly advice. In 1970 s. Food became a trend in both east and west east germany developed its own versions of west german planes rights but changed the name. Grilled chicken for example broiling. School day. Was known as the. No but the so used to be a roll with the meatball inside now i can compare the 2 and 4 and it had a dressing a bit like Barbecue Sauce that was a grill letter just a list of the 1st guy. Our rate going to still have a soft spot for gemini even if he had planned to leave as a shot and also is on top so i had submitted an application to emigrate. Quite couldnt deal with a few things so after many years i made the decision that swan and slawson. As mystifies i wanted to be free to not have things forced upon me what i was supposed to think and what i wasnt but otherwise it was a really great time to show that side. In the end he didnt have to go a short time later ive been in wolf and. Jimmys cuisine. And now thanks to our rate going to western tourists i discover a new tube. And if you would like to prepare a typical east german dish yourself we have a few recipes ready on facebook at d w. Well in our final report today we meet a couple who were determined to leave east germany and search for a better life in the west for them applying to leave legally was impossible so cut the link cost and then decided to flee into the west spending a whole year preparing for it in secret before they embarked on their journey just months before the wall fell. Found out they could have faced jail and many other repercussions for themselves and their families. And cost in blending together on the pages that hill about the center of the home town of. Just like on that night in august 988. 00 a year before they fled east germany. When we finally realized deep down that we could do it. That we would escape and we would do it together. And the constant cleansing grew up. In his early twentys he decided to flee to the west as a child i was naive enough to dream of becoming a marine biologist and research dolphins but of course in east germany that was completely out of the question. In the mail there were maybe 5 vacancies for Marine Biology students and the students had to have permission to travel to the west this was for me that was impossible i would have had to break ties with my family in the west and serve in the army for 3 years so that was out of the question for me. Cotton lincoln like was from was also in an early twentys. I wasnt allowed to study because of my family also some of my siblings and other family members had applied to leave east germany or had been imprisoned for attempting to flee. So i had a chance of going to university in east germany. In the. Direct escape from east germany was too risky so on july the 4th 989 the couple began a long journey with many diversions then they marines are documented in a book. Or a love without borders constant and cats when trained in secret for a year this is like an effort to prepare for their perilous escape. Routes and all that night we swim laps with snorkels and with a black stocking of red heads. And weve got to stay fit and we even fasted so we could learn to make do without food for a long time. First they flew to the then soviet union home but had to give up their plans to flee to japan india or finland. Fortunately they will be trained all captured and ultimately they decided to flee by hungry for. A song. When we were finished in the soviet union we thought ok we still have our plan c. We can still try a route through hungry. So we went to hungry and we only wanted to get a glimpse of the border just to get close to it was all in the but they caught us at the train station and put us in jail for the night. In may of 989 hungry had begun to dismantle its border fence with austria and in june it signed the Geneva Refugee Convention east germans were fleeing to the west German Embassy in budapest or across the border the situation was unpredictable. A few days after we had reached safety someone from weimar was shot and killed everyone knew the situation had changed so we were still afraid when we succeed. Arrested would we be sent back to east germany. To decided to escape separately by chance consummate 2 young west German Tourists who hid it in the back seat of their comm it was august 13th 989 she made it to the west. Point suddenly i had a west german girlfriend she was there she had done it i couldnt even imagine it is on the phone i also felt freed from responsibility for caterine. For now i was confident i could carry out my plan and swim through the danube. 3 days later constant entered the danube under the cover of darkness he swam for 6 hours with the current for 25 kilometers from hungary into the former yugoslavia his plan almost went wrong. And it was a very dramatic moment the guy had heard a noise the entire time but couldnt figure out where it was coming from turns out it was a patrol boat calmness inside ignored the sound of the book came so close to me that i was probably caught in the suction of its propellers. I had to dive under. I was out for a few seconds i also saw a spotlight come toward me. Costin was able to flee east germany after a total of 44. 00 days the 2 mates up again in the west and married constant stream and became a marine biologist and cats. Just 11 years ago they moved back to effort the city they once called son hunt to escape.
