Party Congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany The second issue of the Xth Party Congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (April 11-16, 1981) focuses on the deep political, economic, social and political life mentions spiritual and cultural changes that take place and take place under the leadership of the SED on the soil of the GDR. Especially the seventies were in the process of realization of the main task in their unity of economic and social policy to the most successful years of our previous development. At the same time, new internal and external conditions have emerged, which are, on the one hand, the result of the increased radiation of the main task, but which, on the other hand, considerably complicate their further realization in comparison to the beginning of the seventies. For this reason, the Xth SED Congress will above all ask how the power of the whole people can secure what has been achieved and thus create the conditions for the further gradual increase in the material and intellectual and cultural living standards of the working people. The issue, whose design templates were paintings by important visual artists of the GDR, goes into this complicated dialectic. Rudolf Bergander called his "Holiday" his image, which served as a template for the value of 25 pfennigs. Three generations adorn their dwelling with the red flag of the working class. Each one has different, specific experiences. Bergander derives an overarching idea from this individualized historical dimension: "Festday" here stands for the totality of the political, economic, social and spiritual-cultural achievements of our society, for a policy for the benefit of the entire people Paintings - every feast day is also a day of struggle for the consolidation of our achievements as well as in the constant confrontation with imperialism.
