East Germany was the informal Western name for the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or DDR (German Democratic RepublicGDR), the communist state established in 1949 in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany and in the East Berlin portion of the Allied-occupied capital city. The German Democratic Republic had an area of 107,771 km2. (41,610 mi.2), bordering Czechoslovakia in the south, West Germany (officially: Federal Republic of Germany) in the south and west, the Baltic Sea to the north, and Poland in the east.

The former German Democratic Republic, now integrated in the German State, never produced beercans, nevertheless one of its brands - see above - was canned in France.
