“MDR Umschau” in the ARD Mediathek: https://www.mdr.de/s/umschauardmediathek There were around 5000 company holiday homes before the fall of the Berlin Wall. The majority were taken over by private operators, who converted them into hotels and holiday parks and transferred them to the market economy. We talk to operators and guests of the Ringberg Hotel in Suhl (formerly used by cooperative farmers), are in Trautenstein in the Harz in a hotel (formerly a company holiday home of the heavy machinery construction company Nordhausen) and on the Baltic Sea - in the GDR holiday camp - a retro-styled former company holiday home in Dranske, which once belonged to the VEB Rationalization Gera and now offers holidays “like in the old days”. “MDR Umschau” on the web: https://www.mdr.de/umschau/index.html MDR on YouTube: / mdr #urlaub #hotel #ddr #ferien
