DD was the ISO 3166-1 code for the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the letters coming from the German name of the country: Deutsche Demokratische Republik. In accordance with IANA policy, .dd was therefore available to be assigned as the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for East Germany. However, this was never done, and so .dd was never added to the root nameservers^[1].

With the reunification of Germany, East Germany became part of the Federal Republic of Germany, which had already been assigned the ccTLD .de. The ISO 3166-1 code DD was withdrawn in 1990. ^[2]
