Germany has been reunited fore more than 30 years ago, but you can still see a heavy division. Economically, politically and culturually. East Germans get paid less, are viewed as lazy and primitive by many West Germans and in turn East Germans heavily favour populist parties, recently quite dangerously the far right AFD. Aside from a few spots e.g. Saxony Valley, the economy is in shambles in the East, many of the young people flee west for better economic perspectives, leaving weak states with angry elderly population.
