East Germany is still less developed than west Germany.
Population there is still lower than western side.
Education in Germany is free but in Eastern side especially in smaller towns they even pay you around 100 euros per year for increasing the population. lol

East Germany was run into the ground by socialists, as was the entire eastern Europe. People hated socialists. In 1991 USSR was toppled and they never looked back.

Don't forget tiny Eastern Germany usually held 3rd place at Olympic games. Only superpowers could beat it at sport.
Once I've watched interview of former Western Germany general. He said DDR army could conquer the whole Western Germany in a week (without allies from both sides).
