Ha :D
I haven't mention that because I'm not familiar with telephone numbers in Leipzig.
Plus, I wasn't sure if PLKs were available in the GDR (it dates back to 1989, still two Germanys) as well.
Main advantage of PLKs: They were free and no identification -except that card- was required. They were intended e.g. for homeless ppl who don't have a postal address but as Sidius mentioned already, widely used for swapping.
Actually, I had one, too  There could be a trained version of "Reach for the Sky" which is the only release ever in which I mentioned it. Unfortunately, some months later, all PLKs were closed. I guess the POST wanted ppl to use regular P.O.boxes which of course have to be paid for.
