Berlin - Reichsbahnerstreik 1949

On 28 June 1949, the employees of the East German State Railway (Deutsche Reichsbahn) resume work after having reached an agreement in the strike. 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
