After World War II, the four Allied Powers took up Occupation Zones in Germany. The US, UK, and French Zones eventually merged to become West Germany, which was a capitalist democracy like those three occupying powers. The Soviet Zone became a communist dictatorship like the Soviet Union was. It was this Soviet influence that resulted in German Communism in East Germany.

In 1945, at the close of WW II, Germany was partitioned between France, the UK, the US and the USSR. The USSR withdrew its troops from East Germany in 1989 and the Communist regime collapsed shortly thereafter.

By 1948 (at the latest) the Soviet Zone of Germany was Communist. The German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) was a Communist state when it was established in October 1949.
