The People’s Chamber (German: Volkskammer) was the unicameral legislature of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). From its founding in 1949 until the first free elections on 18 March 1990 all members of the Volkskammer were elected on a slate controlled by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) called the National Front. Despite the appearance of a multi-party system all these Bloc parties were completely subservient to the SED.
