On Berlin Wall Anniversary, East-West Divisions Highlight Germany's Patchwork Economy Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, unified Germany is often praised for its transformation into the richest country in Europe. But the economy is not without problems. In what was West Germany, questions are being asked over the continuing subsidies paid to the former East.
