Title A name given to the resource Of Human Responsibility Subject The topic of the resource Von der Verantwortung des Menschen (Of Human Responsibility) a mural painted by Ronald Paris in Rostock-Evershagen in 1976 Description An account of the resource A poem by Paul Eluard inspired this mural, which included a quote by him at the bottom. The first photo shows the mural as Paris painted it in 1976. Unfortunately, this mural is one of the most endangered pieces of GDR public art. Although Paris used the durable medium of lime plaster, the wind and rain of coastal Rostock eroded the paint. It was not preserved and had almost completely faded away by 2009, when Cooper took the second photo. Still, no effort was made to restore or preserve the mural, and it appears further deteriorated in Martin Maleschka's book <em>Baubezogene Kunst, </em>published in 2019.

Title A name given to the resource Academy of Arts Picture Cellar Subject The topic of the resource The Bilderkeller, murals painted in the basement of Berlin's Academy of Arts (Akademie der Künste) by students Harald Metzkes and Manfred Böttcher, 1957-1958 Description An account of the resource These murals are only a few that decorate the basement of the Akademie der Künste. All murals predate the Berlin Wall, erected in 1961. They offer insight into the GDR's art school culture before the Wall and the restrictive way of life that came with it. The Bilderkeller was closed to the public for 30 years. It reopened in 2018 and is available to visit and tour. It is the only remaining part of the original building.

Title A name given to the resource He Stirred the Sleep of the World Subject The topic of the resource Er rührte an den Schlaf der Welt (He Stirred the Sleep of the World) in Halle-Neustadt painted by Erich Enge in 1971. Description An account of the resource This mural's title refers to a famous GDR <a href="https://youtu.be/fyO_-oDtvGU" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">song from 1967 by Ernst Busch</a>, which is based on a 1929 poem about Lenin by Johannes Robert Becher. The song celebrates Lenin's contributions to literacy, land reform and electricity as the leader of the Soviet Union. Enge depicted these themes surrounding Lenin's portrait. In the 1990s, the mural's 66 cement plates were dismantled, cleaned and remounted in their original location. It is one of 24 monuments dedicated solely to Lenin that remain in public spaces in the former GDR.
