Literature of East Germany (original) (raw)
East German literature is the literature produced in East Germany from the time of the Soviet occupation in 1945 until the end of the communist government in 1990. The literature of this period was heavily influenced by the concepts of socialist realism and controlled by the communist government. As a result, the literature of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) was for decades dismissed as nothing more than "Boy meet Tractor literature", but its study is now considered a legitimate field. Because of its language, the literature is more accessible to western scholars and is considered to be one of the most reliable, if not the most reliable, sources about East Germany.

| dbo:abstract | Unter dem Begriff DDR-Literatur werden alle geschriebenen Werke zusammengefasst, die ab 1945 in der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone und später in der DDR entstanden sind. Die Anfänge der DDR-Literatur gingen einher mit einer Reihe von antifaschistischen Werken heimgekehrter literarischer Emigranten. Literatur und Kultur in der DDR wurden wesentlich durch Erlasse und offizielle Äußerungen der Sozialistischen Einheitspartei Deutschlands (SED) beeinflusst und gelenkt, so dass man von einer zentralistisch organisierten Literaturszene sprechen kann. Ziel der Literaturpolitik war es, im Rahmen des „Sozialistischen Realismus“ die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen zu beschreiben und selbst verändernd einzugreifen. Die Entwicklung der DDR-Literatur lässt sich schwerpunktmäßig vier Phasen zuordnen: die Aufbauliteratur der 1950er Jahre, die Ankunftsliteratur der 1960er Jahre, die relative Liberalisierung der 1970er Jahre und die Entstehung einer Untergrundliteratur in den 1980er Jahren.
