Germany: Eisenhüttenstadt

Yesterday I got four postcards: two from Germany, my first card from Algeria and one from Singapore.

One of the cards from Germany shows various views of Eisenhüttenstadt. Eisenhüttenstadt is a town in the German State of Brandenburg. It was founded in 1950 as model city by the Socialist government of East Germany. Between 1953 and 1961 it was known as Stalinstadt, but in the course of the De-Stalinization the name was changed. In 1986 became Eisenhüttenstadt the first East German city with a twin city in West Germany.
