DDR Restaurant Domklause
DDR Restaurant Domklause (Karl-Liebknecht Strasse 1, near the river Spree, Berlin) – next door to the DDR Museum is this interesting restaurant, since it serves German cuisine, as served in East Germany (DDR) during the Cold War period.
Unlike the West German dish, in the DDR, a Jägerschnitzel was not a juicy schnitzel with a mushroom sauce – rather a sliced up sausage in breadcrumbs served in a tomato sauce. A hotdog was called a Ketwurst and a Hamburger was known as a Grilletta. The “Broiler” brought to fame by the GDR television chef Kurt Drummer, was – you would never guess – a chicken dish. This place actually gives visitors to the DDR Museum a chance to taste a bit of recent German history. For added atmosphere, the walls are adorned with Soviet-inspired East German murals.
