Cost of visiting the East rises

locations

information

The GDR raises the amount of money that Westerners have to change when they visit East Berlin. It now stands at 25 Deutsche marks per day.

That makes the trip too expensive for many West Berliners who, until now, have regularly visited friends and relatives in the East.

{# Third-party scripts of the ARD video player. The player is not available as a package and expects jQuery and a few helpers as globals, so these stay classic scripts outside the module bundle. `PlayerView` (frontend/js/common/views/player.js) only talks to the resulting `window.ardplayer` namespace. Load order matters: jQuery and its plugins first, then the player core and its subtitle add-on. frontend/tests/markup.mjs reads this file, so the smoke test fails if a script goes missing. #}
