36 jaar oud DDR-brood krijgt plek in Berlijns museum: 'Weggooien was uitgesloten'

A 36-year-old loaf of bread from the former East Germany has been placed on display at the DDR Museum in Berlin. The item was originally purchased in 1990 by an informatics student who kept it in a freezer for over three decades.

The student acquired the bread during the period of German reunification, motivated by concerns regarding potential food shortages. The preservation of the loaf serves as a historical artifact reflecting the anxieties and uncertainty experienced by citizens during the transition following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
