In the past, there were not nearly as many options as there are today. Many new apartments were handed over with a finished kitchen and so apartments in housing estates looked like a photocopier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And even though the design of the living room did not yet meet today’s standards, we found everything we needed in these small kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were often associated with childhood or youth and the good times we experienced back then. Let’s take a look together at what the heart of the house – the kitchen – looked like back then and what it contained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The typical kitchen in a socialist apartment was small and simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Larger apartments or houses had a corner kitchen<\/strong> , which was modern for the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people still fondly remember it as a very practical, no-frills kitchen cupboard in which they could store everything they needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And here is the typical kitchen seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you had it yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some kitchens have cleverly taken into account that the lady of the house likes to rest while preparing meals or that some tasks are more comfortable when sitting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had exactly such a device in our apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is what it looked like from the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some kitchen cabinets also contained glass compartments in which precious tea sets, porcelain or glassware were stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Such pieces of furniture probably only exist in our grandmothers’ houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you remember these jars? What did you keep in them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the summer we drank liters of this water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that was our cutlery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kitchen equipment also included a whisk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This grinder was a legend, many still use it, are you one of them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this grinder was perfect for both nuts and stale bread rolls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the past, there were not nearly as many options as there are today.
