German Democratic Republic
Where it comes from
Calque of German Deutsche Demokratische Republik.
proper noun the German Democratic Republic · GDR
- Official name of East Germany (from 1947 through reunification in 1990): a former country in Central Europe. Developments were markedly different in the Soviet zone, but ultimately ended in perhaps an even grimmer dead end: that of SED leader Walter Ulbricht’s thoroughly Stalinized German Democratic Republic (GDR).
