The Class E11 was the first electric locomotive class built in the GDR, with production starting in 1961. Pictured here is 211 001-3 in the Deutsche Bahn Museum in Nuremberg.

The factory where it was built carried the name of Hans Beimler, who among other things served as a political officer in the famous Thälmann-Batallion for the International Brigades in the spanish civil war, where he was killed in action. In his earlier life he was working in a locomotive factory in Nuremberg, where he was part of the works council. His Grandson (also called Hans Beimler) lives in the USA and most notably wrote for Star Trek TNG.

Always weird being at a protest and ending up carrying a banner with the three arrows symbol on it. Aha, whoops! I think I might be one of those arrows that the symbol is against! ↙️↙️↙️

Sacharowa: Zerstörung des Denkmals wäre eine zweite Ermordung Thälmanns

Vielen in der Berliner Politik ist es ein Dorn im Auge, das Thälmann-Denkmal in Prenzlauer Berg. Wie es nach außen wirkt, wenn ein Denkmal für einen bedeutenden Antifaschisten angegriffen wird, lässt sich am Kommentar von Maria Sacharowa erkennen.

this morning i was up very early so by like 4:30 am i randomly watched this "documentary" of 30 minutes from 2005 i've been meaning to watch for weeks about an east german actor who is absolutely unknown today and there were video archives from his movies but also personal photo and video archives from his family. his wife and one of his sons were interviewed as well as two directors he worked with and there was something so sweet about how they talked about him, i could feel all their love and affection for him 🥺. i don't know, there was something so deeply human and heartwarming about it and that made me happy.

i used the automatic german subtitles and the translation but here's the youtube video.

why do you guys talk like you think not voting means no one gets elected
