Original BRD sign from the cold war era. The text on the sign reads:”The Wall. Museum At Checkpoint Charlie” On the back there is a sticker. The text on the sticker reads:”Museum House At Checkpoint Charlie. Where World History Manifests Itself”. This sign was a gift to the previous owner. A business gift from Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, in October 1988. The previous owner wanted to set up a Berlin Wall exhibition in the Netherlands in 1991, for the anniversary thirty years of the Berlin Wall. They then sought cooperation from this museum and the West Berlin Senate. Cooperation was then promised but stopped in November 1989 because the DDR started to dissolve. This sign hung in West Berlin in the 1970s/80s to indicate the way to Checkpoint Charlie.
The sign is in good condition. Few marks wich can be expected from a sign what was actually used. Made of metal.

Original BRD sign from the cold war era. The text on the sign reads:”Stop! Here Zone Boundary. Federal Border Protection”. This sign was bought in 1991 on a fleamarket in Berlin. From a collection of a former Dutch Bolshewik.
The BRD called the DDR the “SBZ” or “the zone” until the early 1970s to make it clear that they did not recognize the DDR. When Willy Brandt in the BRD took over at the end of 1969, the relationship between the BRD and the DDR changes for the better and the so-called “Ostpolitik” (East Politics) of Brandt takes place. The word zone then disappears from the border plates and becomes: “Halt Here Grenze!” instead of Zone. So this sign is from before 1969. It was bought in 1991 in Berlin. The word “Zone” is an essential difference with the other signs
The sign is in good condition. Few marks wich can be expected from a sign what was actually used. Made of metal.

In 1848, Engels co-authored The Communist Manifesto with Marx and also authored and co-authored (primarily with Marx) many other works. Later, Engels supported Marx financially, allowing him to do research and write Das Kapital. After Marx’s death, Engels edited the second and third volumes of Das Kapital. Additionally, Engels organised Marx’s notes on the Theories of Surplus Value, which were later published as the “fourth volume” of Das Kapital. In 1884, he published The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State on the basis of Marx’s ethnographic research.
