Neues Deutschland (nd; English: New Germany, sometimes stylized in lowercase letters) is a left-wing German daily newspaper, headquartered in Berlin.
For 43 years it was the official party newspaper of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED), which governed East Germany (officially known as the German Democratic Republic), and as such served as one of the party´s most important organs. It originally had a Stalinist political stance; it retained a Marxist–Leninist stance until German reunification in 1990. The Neues Deutschland that existed in East Germany had a circulation of 1.1 million as of 1989 and was the communist party´s main way to show citizens its stances and opinions about politics, economics, etc. It was regarded by foreign countries as the communist regime´s diplomatic voice.
