Synopsis
With their border crossings, transit routes and their control by the “Volks-Polizei” (GDR police), with their concrete slabs and their history of construction, reaching back to the “Reichsautobahn” of the National Socialist era, the AUTOBAHN east stands as an example of German and German-German history. With a flair for anecdotes and situations, big politics and the small folks along the side of the road, Gerd Kroske has filmed a documentary, which refers back to the educational films of the transit police and footage of surveillance cameras of the state security and shows much more than a piece of “civil engineering” history.
