Eastern and West Germany has not been separated for 28 years- – 31 for longer than was separated by the wall and barbed wire. However, the differences between old and new federal states are still great, as can be seen from the annual report of the Federal Government on the state of German unity 201 8. As the graphic from Statista shows, economic power is still less than in the rest of Germany. The average gross domestic product was around 39,500 euros across Germany in 2017. In East Germany it is only 28,323 euros. Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with 26,560 euros is the bottom, while the city state of Hamburg leads the ranking with a distance of 64,567.
