So fuhr der Osten
The Wartburg and Trabi have remained in our memories. But that was by no means everything: the range of models of vehicles from the GDR and the former Eastern Bloc countries was much more diverse than many people would like to admit today. Who still remembers GDR tractors and transport vehicles, holidays in Hungary in GDR caravans, Eastern mopeds and motorcycles?
Klaus Schameitat makes the models from back then visible. He is a specialist in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. For almost 40 years he has been researching and travelling the countries that used to lie behind the Iron Curtain. He is particularly interested in the everyday lives of the people. That is why he has documented numerous treasures that have long since disappeared from the streets.
In this book, Eastern road cruisers with US influences meet air-cooled curiosities with rear engines. Monstrous transport vehicles dream of better times in a scrap yard, a Trabant 601 shines in new splendour and a Wartburg fights for every meter with a Zuk van - on the rails, mind you, because both were converted into draisines.
The vehicles in this illustrated book are bizarre, colourful, beautifully designed, but sometimes just amazing.
