Add article description

With the founding act of the German Democratic Republic on October 7, 1949, the previously existing German People's Council transformed into the Provisional People's Chamber of the GDR. At 12:45 PM on October 7, during its 9th and final session in the Grand Hall of the German Economic Commission, the German People's Council decided to transform itself into the Provisional People's Chamber of the GDR. At 5:35 PM on the same day, the Provisional People's Chamber was constituted. One of the purposes of this constitution was to enact the Constitution of the GDR into effect.

Members of the Presidium of the Provisional People's Chamber

Note: The composition of the Presidium contradicted Article 57 of the Constitution of the GDR dated October 7, 1949. According to this article, only factions with at least 40 deputies would have been allowed to send a representative to the Presidium. Specifically, this would have been the SED, LDPD, and CDU. The differentiation between NDP and DBD is also striking. While the National Democrats received a deputy position, the DBD was only represented by a member. The reason why no other mass organizations were considered except for the DFD and FDGB is not clear.

MPs

Note: A manual or directory in book form for the deputies of the Provisional People's Chamber was not available until November 2017.
