Deutsche Einheit

Deutsche Einheit, meaning "German Unity," refers to the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990 after decades of division following World War II. East Germany was a communist state under Soviet influence, while West Germany was a democratic and economically developed nation. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 symbolized this shift, leading to political, economic, and social integration. The process involved significant efforts to merge institutions, laws, and infrastructure, marking a historic milestone that restored Germany as a single, unified country.
