our lighters we were all very broke that. we entered this enormous cellar complex and it led to the steel chamber. and all that was something very special to us. realized immediately this is a place offered the potential for setting up something really big for us comes courses also list. and since it's his older came the nucleus of the linz techno scene tracking races from all over the world. today the past is that on the stuff of legend. the joy i felt machine helped. usually you couldn't even see who you're with because it was. also full of thought he would fight or just lose yourself in the music he and then that made for an optical atmosphere there's you have a man if you couldn't see anyone you could just close your eyes to mine.

history and it still plays witnessed a 100 years of history. and still exists today but on a different location again in an unusual venue by the way a former palace station. now another quick of german history is the fact that the split between east and west coast to different cuisines to develop one of the many restrictions people faced in east germany was the lack of fresh and high quality ingredients in a state controlled supply chain so quite a lot of imagination was required when it came to serving up a varied menu anyone who wants to taste some of those classic east german dishes can do so at a restaurant him berlin dining in an atmosphere reminiscent of an old east german establishment. it still was

a classic gemini dish but for visitors from the west it was also a source of confusion instead of an escalade with mushrooms it was made with a sausage. in the. muslim toast in east germany had to be inventive with the yoga schnitzel for instance where a veal a scallop is a high quality product is normally used we had to use pork. but that was also hard to come by so often so some housewives simply used a sausage schools what's the life i lost in that post very good and has been in restaurants specializes in dishes the favorites in east germany his east german version of his a slice of chefs are the sausage coated with flour one egg and breadcrumb in the sea ben fried golden in carrot find. the following is the original recipe for the source to. see what else i cooked the onions and butter and then

i peeled tomatoes and catch up personally i always add a dash of gerken genesis to itself that's. than the tomato sauce is she already. is that's real tomato sauce my dear friend from the west a real east germany. the 2 years after the fall of the burnham will the folks come a restaurant serves traditional east german dishes sami is the manual for and take the furnishings to all reminiscent of communist east germany. the menu also office reglue found which was to source chop spoils pool which was then grilled with a cheese topping. and the so called sweden cup a popular desire to visit ice cream apple sauce. and whipped cream on it he said it takes you back to east german time as if that's really didn't make the list goes on . it's nice anyway so i have command of the structure i'm but i remember that it

used to look like this should be even the chairs are just as uncomfortable but for that the food is great or it part of us assured to get the gold and i guy had today was a favorite when we were young isn't of not so muffin we'd go out at night to the broiler pan and pick up a grilled chicken i mentioned you worked without it we chose him for actually i'm from the west. just here for a change my advice under is exact then we didn't make it over to the east much. in the cold it was often difficult to find the right ingredients in east germany many things were not readily available so east germany stood in long lines especially when imported goods like bananas and origins were on often regional ingredients played an important role in good. german cuisine provided simple everyday satisfying meals. and. we made

a lot of preserves and homemade foods for the hard times. the other warsaw pact countries also influenced east german cuisine is a fixed you from hungary and is a big spicy from russia with sausage and scraps. in these german restaurants you have to wait to be seated but that had more to do with the shortage of tables them with customer friendly service. in the 1970 s. became a trend in both east and west germany developed its own versions of west german favorites but changed the names. grilled chicken for example broiler. schoolday. and the hamburger was known as the really. you know what the c.e.o. used to be a role with the meatball inside now i can compare the 2 and it had

a dressing a bit like barbecue sauce that was a great letter on the subject of that that this guy. our ain't going to still have the soft spot for east germany even if he had planned to leave which was a shot in all sides on top for i had submitted an application to emigrate. quite couldn't deal with a few things so after many years i made the decision that swan and slawson. as mystifies i wanted to be free to not have things forced upon me what i was supposed to think and what i wasn't but otherwise it was a really great time to show that side. in the end we didn't have to get a short time later the been in wolf and. germany's cuisine is known and now thanks to our rate going to westerners and tourists i'm discovering it.

and if you would like to prepare a typical east german dish yourself we have a few recipes ready on facebook at d w euro max. well in our final report today we meet a couple who were determined to leave east germany and search for a better life in the west for them applying to leave legally was impossible so kathleen lincoln coston benz and decided to flee into the west spending a whole year preparing for it in secret before they embarked on their journey just months before the wall fell had the authority found out they could have face jail and many other repercussions for themselves and their families. together on the pages about the center of their hometown of. just like on that night in august $988.00 a year before they fled east germany. on the

spot where we finally realized deep down that we could do it. that we would escape and we would do it together. constantly wincing grew up in. any silly twenties he decided to flee to the west as a child i was naive enough to dream of becoming a marine biologist and research dolphins but of course in east germany that was completely out of the question. in the mail there were maybe 5 vacancies for marine biology students and the students had to have permission to travel to the west for me that was impossible i would have had to break ties with my family in the west and serve in the army for 3 years so that was out of the question for me. like was from the 1st was also in it early twenty's. i wasn't allowed to study because of my family also some of my siblings and other family members had

applied to leave east germany or had been imprisoned for attempting to flee. so i had no chance of going to university in east germany. in the. direct escape from east germany was too risky so on july the 4th 1989 the couple began a long journey with many diversions then they raise are documented in a book. or in love without borders constant and catalan trained in secret for a year this like an effort to prepare for their perilous escape. as well the thoughts of the night we swam laps with snorkels offenders and with a black stocking of red heads. told them. to stay fit and we even fasted

so we could learn to make do without food for a long time. first they flew to the then soviet union but had to give up their plans to flee to japan india often and. fortunately they went to trade all captured and ultimately they decided to flee by hungry for. a song. when we were finished in the soviet union we thought ok we still have our plan c. we can still try a route through hungry. so we went to hungry and we only wanted to get a glimpse of the border just to get close to it was all in the but they caught us at the train station and put us in jail for the night of things going down in may of 989 hungry had begun to dismantle its border fence with austria and in june it signed the geneva refugee convention east germans were fleeing to the west german embassy in budapest or across the border the situation was unpredictable.

a few days after we had reached safety someone from weimar was shot and killed everyone knew the situation had changed so we were still afraid when we succeed. would we be sent back to east germany. to decided to escape separately. to young german tourists who hid it in the back seat of a calm it was august 13th 1989 she made it to the west. point suddenly i had a west german girlfriend she was there she had done it. i couldn't even imagine it is the fight i also felt freed from responsibility for caterine for. now i was confident i could carry out my plan and swim through the danube. 3 days later constant entered the danube under the cover of darkness he spent 6

hours with the current for 25 kilometers from hungary into the former yugoslavia his plan almost went wrong. and it was a very dramatic moment the guy had heard a noise the entire time but couldn't figure out where it was coming from turns out it was a patrol boat calmness inside ignored the sound of the book came so close to me that i was probably caught in the suction of its propellers. i had to dive under. i was out for a few seconds i also saw a spotlight come toward me. costin was able to flee east germany after a total of $44.00 days the to make it up again in the west and married cost in front of the stream and became a marine biologist and cattle to enlist 11 years ago they moved back to fs the city they once fought so hard not to escape. a happy and then to round off today's special edition commemorating 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall and
