Germany marks 35 years of unity, despite a persistent East-West divide.
Today's anniversary celebrates the political turning point of 1990, when East and West Germany became one nation after more than four decades of division.
However, the country’s East-West divide continues to shape its economy and its political landscape.

To begin - Setting the East and West Deutsch Mark at 1:1 made East firms unviable, leading to them being sold for peanuts and asset striped. At the same time, wage hikes in the East made the workers undesirable. All this leading to, that between 1989-1992 East manufacturing output fell by 67%. The effects were felt by a massive rise in unemployment. e.g. East Germans were 19% of German Population but 50% of the Unemployed. From then, until now, things didn't really get better.

Ich frage mich ja bis heute, wo diese angebliche Deutsche Einheit sein soll. Ich bin ca. 8 Jahre nach dem #Mauerfall geboren und von dieser Einheit sehe ich bis heute nichts. Als Westdeutscher sehe ich es nicht ein, dass der heutige Tag ein #Feiertag sein soll.
