Today, Germany is commemorating the reunification of the two countries 35 years ago. While many believed in recent years that the two countries had grown together, I think that there is much more that separates us than unites us. Wages in the east of Germany are still significantly lower than in the west. Many areas are structurally poor and there is a lack of jobs. These may also be the reasons why right-wing extremist parties are gaining massive support there.
But this is not intended to be a treatise on the state of Germany, just a few thoughts that occur to me spontaneously on this holiday. Therefore, only two songs from East and West that are more closely related to reunification.
