BERLIN (Der Spiegel Magazine) -- Seventeen years after German reunification, little remains of the optimism which marked the heady days after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The "blooming landscapes" which then Chancellor Helmut Kohl promised in 1990 have conspicuously failed to materialize, and the former East Germany is still lagging behind the west in terms of economic development. The minister responsible for developing eastern Germany has warned that the region may need up to 20 years before it reaches the level of the west. The main problems are long-term unemployment and right-wing extremism, he says. "The gap is closing, but it is closing far too slowly," Transport Minister Wolfgang Tiefensee, who is responsible for the development of the former East Germany, said Wednesday as he presented an annual report on the progress of the eastern states. It could take up to another 20 years before the quality of life in eastern and western Germany is the same, he said.
