I found an original GDR Pin. At the bottom there is a protractor with two wheat thingies.

On the back is written:

SOZIALISTISCH ARBEITEN LERNEN UND LEBEN

which translates to:

learn and live to work socialist

I think its very pretty even though.

the back of an original GDR pin saying "sozialistisch arbeiteten lernen und leben"

    Oh my gosh where did you find these?! I need to know, ive always wanted DDR memorabilia, they’re probably my favorite socialist experiment (that and I’m in Germany).

        I’m relatively recent in Germany, my German honestly sucks at the moment, but in a couple of years im hoping to study in Germany at university, so that’ll be a great time to do so. Problem is I’m in the West.

      Flea markets in Berlin can have some good stuff.

      I’ve also found Soviet memorabilia at Swiss second hand stores.
