The "X. World Festival of Youth and Students" took place shortly before the two German states were taken up in September 1973 in the GDR. The aim of the GDR was to demonstrate cosmopolitanism and create a good atmosphere. This was so good that the nine days went down in history as the "Woodstock of the East".

The world festival was played in the capital of the GDR, East Berlin. The event attracted numerous young people from all over the world, including many young people and students from the West. There were various events, such as sports competitions, cultural performances, discussions and concerts.

The motto of the Xth World Festival was: "Peace and solidarity". The GDR also wanted to emphasize its efforts for international cooperation and international understanding. However, the focus of the event was the youngsters and students, their ideas and visions for a better world. The World Festival offered them the opportunity to exchange and network.

The mood during the world festival was particularly impressive. The atmosphere was characterized by tolerance, openness and optimism. Visitors reported a unique experience that they had not yet experienced. The event offered a welcome change from the political situation of the Cold War and demonstrated that young people and students can come together from different countries and meet peacefully.

The "X. World Festival of Youth and Students" became a symbol of friendly relationships between the nations and set a positive sign of the cooperation between the communist states. Nevertheless, the event was also politically shaped. The GDR took the opportunity to propagate its political agenda and present itself as a cosmopolitan and tolerant state.

Overall, the world festivals in East Berlin were an extraordinary event that attracted attention far beyond the borders of the GDR. The nine days in September 1973 entered history and were called the "Woodstock of the East". They offered young people the opportunity to express their dreams and ideas and to stand up for a better world.
