Mapping the Posters

Many posters in the collection feature events in specific locations, such as opera performances, sports competitions, political rallies, or youth festivals. These posters are mapped below. You can navigate to specific clusters of posters on the map to locate those posters connected with individual cities or regions in the former GDR.

The posters in the collection have been mapped with the greatest accuracy possible vis-a-vis address. In some cases (e.g., the Kleist-Theater in Frankfurt an der Oder), the correct addresses were not able to be determined and the poster in question has been mapped to the city, rather than a specific address. Each poster is tagged with a city and, in some cases, address or institution to which it is connected.
