This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2001:4878:8246:410:807a:7c6b:e354:c7b7 (talk) at 15:54, 1 August 2016 (Not sure whether there's any truth to this, but the editor who changed "Deutsche Bundesrepublik" to "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" seems to have missed the point. Fixing, and adding explanation of the point). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

"German Federal Republic" (Deutsche Bundesrepublik, DBR) was one of the terms used by the communist German Democratic Republic to refer to the Federal Republic of Germany (inverting the word order of the official name Bundesrepublik Deutschland). After 1968 the GDR tended to use the initialism "BRD" instead.
