As with many Soviet-allied countries prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the government of the former German Democratic Republic (German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik) applied censorship during its existence from 1949 to 1990.[1][2] The censorship was practised through a hierarchical but unofficial censorship apparatus, ultimately controlled by the ruling party (SED).[3][2][4] Through censorship, the socialist point of view on society was ensured in all forms of literature, arts, culture and public communication.[2] Due to the lack of an official censorship apparatus, censorship was applied locally in a highly structured and institutionalized manner under the control of the SED.[5]
