Explanation
The coat of arms of the German Democratic Republic (DDR) featured a hammer and compass surrounded by a wreath of grain, symbolizing the alliance of workers (hammer), intelligentsia (compass), and farmers (grain wreath) in the socialist state. This emblem was used on official documents, flags, and government buildings throughout East Germany from 1955 until 1990.
Tips
- Look for the distinctive socialist symbols: hammer (workers), compass (intellectuals), and grain wreath (farmers).
- Remember that the DDR was the socialist German state (East Germany) that existed from 1949-1990.
- The emblem should show these three elements arranged in a circular design.
- Eliminate options that show different symbols, animals, or designs not associated with socialist iconography.
