Verband der Kleingärtner, Siedler und Kleintierzüchter

Urban Farm DB summary

The article on the VKSK, East Germany's national allotment organisation. Founded in Leipzig on 29 November 1959, it held the exclusive right to establish allotment sites. Membership stood at about 850,000 in 1962 and reached roughly 1.5 million by 1988. An extraordinary congress on 27 October 1990 resolved to dissolve the body with effect from 31 December 1990, and its gardeners and clubs passed into the all-German federation that followed.
