Hagedorn donates a frozen DDR loaf

Date unknown

AUF1 reports that the Hagedorn family donated a frozen one-kilogram farmhouse loaf to Berlin's Deutschlandmuseum, where it is to have its own freezer. The family bought it at the Auguststraße Konsum store on June 26, 1990 while stocking up before the currency change and froze it. The report recalls the store's 1991 closure and contrasts its 80-pfennig purchase price with an inflation-adjusted conversion of about 56 cents. It supplies no exact donation date; 'last bread of the DDR' is the exhibit's description.

AUF1 reports that the Hagedorn family donated a loaf bought in Berlin on June 26, 1990 and preserved frozen to the Deutschlandmuseum. The museum plans a separate freezer for the exhibit described as the last bread of the DDR. The purchase and long preservation explain its provenance; an exact donation date is unresolved.
