More Germans are choosing to live in the former East Germany than the western part of the country, according to newly released statistics, with Berlin being a big draw.
In 2014, a reported 141,966 people moved from West to East Germany, as opposed to 134,765 internal migrants moving the other way.
In 2014, the HuffPo noted several reasons why Eastern Germany is on the rise. Among seven points, the media outlet named a larger number of people with a college diploma, a smaller difference between average salaries for men and women (8 percent against a 24-percent gap in the West), larger pensions in the East for both men and women, a larger number of female managers in the East, and lower rental rates in East Berlin – which is ranked ninth in the list of Germany’s 10 most expensive cities.
The trend is not confined to Berlin, and parts of Saxony Federal Land, with its booming economic centers of Dresden and Leipzig, are also inspiring West Germans to pack up and move eastward.
Saxony is attracting people “with quite remarkable hike gains for Leipzig and Dresden,” explained Bernhard Köppen from BiB.
