Abstract: In contrast to the Federal Republic, the written Abitur examinations in the GDR were centralized examinations in the subject of German, which makes it possible to analyze all centrally set tasks. This essay does this, among other things, with regard to categorizing the tasks. It also analyzes and classifies the tasks in relation to major literary genres, epochs, authors, and works, and examines the role of women in the Abitur tasks. Finally, didactic and methodological findings are presented and conclusions are drawn regarding the direction of the tasks and the use of operators. A key finding is that the central German Abitur in the GDR is highly politicized.
