Hi everybody,

I am Adrián Blanco. I am working as an intern in http://lab.rtve.es/ . The
ddj platform of the public broadcasting media in Spain. called "RTVE"
http://www.rtve.es/

We are working on a ddj project about Berlin Wall due to its 25th
anniversary. The idea is to obtain data related with Berlin Wall, the
divided city of Berlin, East Germany and West Germany from 1961 to 1989. I
have taken a look of Destatis adn BerlinDaten portals but I have not found
so much data during these years (1961-1989). We have data about population
and some about economic aspects, but we need more.

So, we ask for your advice if you have any idea or knowledge about where we
can find some data related with these topics, and data that let us to
compare in time (from 1961-1989) East and West Germany, and both Berlins.

Some data we are interested in:
-Wall crossing deaths: time, type and location. (1961-1989)
-Any data related with the proccess of reunification (Treuhandanstalt)
(1989- ...) Data related with privatizations and so on.
-Price of essential food products (like bread, milk...) (1961-1989)
-Purchasing power or Salaries of both countries (DDR/BRD) (1961-1989)
-Populaton density of Democratic and Federal Berlin and Germany. (1961-1989)
-Birth and death rates of DDR and BRD, Democractic Berlin and Federal
Berlin (1961-1989)
-Waiting time to buy a car or any other stuff in DDR.

So if you can help me or give some tips to find the data I am looking for I
would be really grateful.

Thank you vey much for your attention.

All the best,

Adrián
