Berlin - East German State Railway strike 1949

At the end of the strike of the East German State Railway (Reichsbahn) at the end of June 1949, the Reichsbahn sells tickets only for Westmark in the West sector of Berlin, from 01 July 1949 the trains drive again - according to new rate. Here one sees the suburban train station Yorckstrasse. The whole railway operations and infrastructure of Berlin were subordinated to the East German State Railway (Deutsche Reichsbahn, DR) of the Soviet zone of occupation until 1949. On 21 May 1949, the Unabhangige Gewerkschaftsopposition UGO in the West sectors called upon to strike. Around 13.000 Reichsbahner (workers of the East German State Railway) living in West Berlin stopped work and fought for a payment in Westmark. Photo: zbarchiv - BLOCKED FOR PICTURE TRANSMISSION
