During its time as an isolated state, the GDR developed its own culinary culture. In 1989, after some 28 years of isolation, the Berlin Wall came crumbling down - and while East and West Germany have grown ever more entwined over the past 30 years, to this day there are still culinary differences. People who grew up in the West have often never even heard the names of dishes created in the East. In Berlin, the "Volkskammer" restaurant strives to retain the tastes and memories of many of these typical dishes from the former GDR.
