Emergence
Walter Ulbricht looked for ways to finance the establishment of the National People's Army . Since the costs were not planned for in the current five-year plan , new ways of financing them were sought. The SED hoped to generate the necessary funds with productivity increases and rationalization measures in the factories. In 1953, three implementing provisions were published in the Law Gazette of the German Democratic Republic. Ministers, state secretaries, the chairmen of the councils of the districts and the heads of the state- owned enterprises (VEB) were made responsible for ensuring that suggestions for innovations were immediately put to use if they were economically viable.
Awards
On the part of the GDR government, the National Prize , the Order Banner of Labor in Levels I - II - III, Honored Activist and Active Activist , the other state awards and their recognition for personally outstanding innovator achievements.
