I have always thought that post 1950 it was in East Berlin, ie; -the GDR.
Another 'story' was that Dieters fatal crash in 1991 was related to the ultralite being 'tethered' to the ground. Reason being it was in the EDR, and permission for private test flying was difficult to arrange.
Is any of this correct, or was the shop just in west Berlin, which until 1989 ,
was encompassed by the GDR.
