Reconstruction (GDR)
In the German Democratic Republic , the term reconstruction , in contrast to the usual - often scientifically influenced - meaning of reconstruction as a process and result of an understanding, also denotes the "replacement" or the "renewal" and "modernization" in the sense of renovation , for example those of old buildings.
The GDR-specific meaning of the reconstruction found a special use in the terms Reko-Lokomotive , colloquially Rekolok, and Reko-Wagen of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (1945-1993) .
This importance has been preserved in the landscape, i.e. in the areas of the New Lander .
