Title
Berlin - East German State Railway strike 1949
Caption
The Mayor of East Berlin, Ernst Reuter, tries to mediate between the Unabhängige Gewerkschaftsopposition (UGO) and the East German State Railway - here he talks to officials of the UGO. 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 Unabhängige 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
