How many gold medals did East Germany win at the Summer Olympics in total?

153

Background

East Germany won 153 gold medals at the Summer Olympics in total. For a country of only 17 million people that is an amazing rate. Sport was a state affair, and many children were pushed into training very early. A dark side of the story is the state-run doping program of that time.
