    as a German whose parents grew up in the East, i can confirm that all u have said is true and correct. Im amazed that someone not from Germany could explain this so well, my dad often told me how it was in the east, like living, school and stuff and i was always shocked that such things existed which we today couldn’t think of, also speaking of „Freedom“ which wasn’t really there and the fact that you were only allowed to travel into other socialist countries and no capitalist countries which is crazy for me to think of. Yeah my Grandparents still live in the east so im visiting them often and i can say: Yes we are still Divided, even though for non German people we might look united. Great Job👍

    12:13 I think it's not Hessen as a territory, but Frankfurt as a city(located inside Hessen) which screws statistics. So Frankfurt is a financial capital of Germany, even the European bank(the bank that prints Euro currency all over Europe) is located there. Would be interesting to see the Hessen without the Frankfurt metropolitan area(and nearby cities).

    Reconstruction aid and better management certainly helped West Germany with restoring its industry after the war, compared to East Germany.
    But West Germany also was already greatly advantaged by having had a world leading industry before the war. East Germany never had much industry to begin with, and what there was was highly concentrated in the very south in Saxony. Even if Germany had been unified in 1949, the eastern states would always have remained economically weaker than the southern and western states. Though of course to a significantly lesser degree.

    I worked in Germany and it is not true that Western Germans are rich and Eastern Germans are poor. In the West, wages are low in 2020 they paid people 1200 euros, while in the East wages started at 1900 euros at the same time. My colleagues who are now working in the East now have 2500 euros plus benefits and sometimes even free accommodation. Where in the West they earn 1400 euros.

      As someone who lives and was raised in the former east germany, I can say there is still a cultural and economic dived between the West and the so called neuen Bundesländer (New federal states).
      For example less wages and pensions
      Diclining towns
      Less Population
      More economic groth due to the lag of buissneses after the reunification
      Less trust in the politc system
      And a far intense culture of protesting if something seems going wrong, likely because of the experience that our parents and grandparents made in a real dictatorship.

    Sorry, your data is out of date and gives a false picture: For several years now, more people have been moving from west to east than vice versa. Yes, wages are slightly lower in east Germany than in the west, but rents and property prices are also lower here. Since Americans tend to associate the UK with Europe, here's how it really is: Germans in general earn an average of €8,500 more per year than their British colleagues/counterparts, and so east Germans in particular have a much higher standard of living than the English, especially those in the north. Germany is one of the countries that can feed its population without any imports (in contrast to the UK), not least because East Germany has huge agricultural areas and, logically, fewer people live there. This should explain why there are fewer companies there than in the West.- Nevertheless, an incredible amount of investment is being made in future industries in the East German metropolitan region outside of Berlin.
    The most recent FOREIGN investments in EAST-Germany:
    Everyone knows that Tesla built its European factory in the state of Brandenburg/Germany (and not in the UK) and is already producing there for the European market.
    - The US company Intel wants to produce computer chips with a size of 1.5 nanometers in the planned (construction has started) factory in Magdeburg in the state of Saxony-Anhalt/Germany. Current chips are usually significantly larger. 3,000 high-tech jobs will be created and tens of thousands of additional jobs by suppliers and partners. The city of Magdeburg is building a new district to create living space. Investments in Magdeburg for the factory alone are said to amount to more than 30 billion euros. In the construction phase alone, around 7,000 workers are needed for the Intel factory alone. The same applies to the
    - Chip company TSMC from Taiwan, which is building a semiconductor factory with 2,000 new jobs in Dresden in the state of Saxony/Germany.
    [To complete it: the most recent FOREIGN investments in WEST-Germany: - The Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt has decided to build a CO2 neutral factory near Heide in the state of Schleswig-Holstein/Germany. 3,000 jobs will be created here, as well as thousands more at suppliers and service providers. - Microsoft is building 2 large data centers for AI in North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany, plus an AI qualification offensive with local partners from business, municipalities, schools and educational institutions in North Rhine-Westphalia and throughout Germany. - The US pharmaceutical giant Lilly is investing billions in a new factory in Rhineland-Palatinate/Germany.- Of course, German companies are also investing heavily throughout Germany.] - Germany's economy seems to be barely growing at the moment, but this is due to restructuring (see investments above) and almost doubling its defense spending.
    By the way, here is a classification of how the political parties in Germany compare with those in the USA: You can compare the AfD with the Republicans in the USA, the Democrats with the German CDU (Opposition party currently) and the current German government with the political ideas of a "Bernie Sanders". If you think that's bad, you're wrong: under our current government, Germany has climbed to third place behind the USA and China among the largest economies in the world, ahead of Japan, and despite restructuring, increasing tensions in the world and the associated protectionism instead of globalization! - (Incidentally, the UK has fallen to sixth place of the largest economies, behind India, under a conservative government.)-
    Excuse my bad English, but greetings from Germany anyway.

      Hey! Thanks for taking the time to write this out!
      Germany is still VERY MUCH a developed and wealthy nation (including Eastern Germany).
      In fact, I’d argue that Germany is the single most important economy in Europe! 🇩🇪 💪
      The purpose of this video was to highlight why there are noticeable differences between the East and West today.
      Though the West is more economically developed, that isn’t to call the East poor in comparison to global standards by any means! It does happen to be poorer than the West, though.
      Regarding Germany’s parties, the relative popularity of the AfD in East Germany highlights a difference in the political ideology/mentality of Easterners (similar to how Alabama is different than California in America). This isn’t to say the East is better or worse in any way, though! I’m sorry if it came across that way!
      I hope that helps clear some things up! :)

      But the lac of Industry in east germany comes in my oppinon from the decustruction of a lot of former state owened east german factories an mines. On the other hand it the goverment invests huge somes of money in the New staes because of economic oppurtunity.
