During the 1950s, both the DPRK and the German Democratic Republic were rebuilding their shattered, war ravaged nations. In the spirit of socialist brotherhood, a plan emerged for a team of city planners, architects, and engineers to travel to Korea and use the rebuilding of Hamhung to create a model city, built on the core principles of socialist urban design.
The story of the Deutsche Arbeitesgruppe Hamhung tells the story of the city itself, and how the project, whilst never fully realised, has come to define the DPRK's second-city.
