German Volkskammer (1990: Two Germanies)

The Deutsche Volkskammer (German: German People's Chamber) is the unicameral legislature of the German Democratic Republic (Populary known as East Germany).

Constitutionally, the Volkskammer is the highest organ of state power in the GDR, with the government needing the confidence of it to operate.

Before 1990, the Volkskammer operated as a rubber stamp that did not much than give legal sanctions to the decisions made by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and its Politburo.

After the democratization of East Germany, the Volkskammer became the legislature of the new free and democratic republic, with no reunification between East and West Germany.

After the 2018 general election, the Social Democratic Party is the biggest party in the Volkskammer, with the Christian Democratic Union being at number two, and the New Prussian Party at number three.
