| Feb 26, 2021 at 14:48 | comment | added | MCW♦ | Given that I modhammered this closed, I've modhammered it open. I deleted the two questions that none of us could understand - if @victor can explain them we can add them back. But I think the question as now stands can be answered. | |

| Feb 26, 2021 at 14:44 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | I did a first crack at editing this, fixing up the title and the first paragraph. I didn't touch the later 2 because frankly I don't understand what they are asking. Could we have some clarification on that? What kind of "bad reputation" are we talking about? What makes you think having been a "puppet state" has relevance to the question? | |

| Feb 25, 2021 at 22:12 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @jamesqf The situation for the other former socialist countries was far more difficult, since these administrations had to envolve from a totalitarian system, often with peaple who had been trained by such systems and could not always be trusted or simply lacked the practical experience needed to deal with problems in a democratic mannor. Police, justice reforms were the problem #1. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 21:53 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @Trish Actually there was a lot more than that. For Berlin it was relatively simple since the administration structure was similar. For the newly (re-)founded states the administrations had to be rebuilt from scratch. Each new state had a sponsor state, which assisted with the buildup of the new administration until the 1990's when it was no longer needed. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 21:37 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | The mearging of both city administrations (Magistrat and Senat) started in June 1990 after the Magistrat had been elected in May of that year. The removal of the Wall, reopening of streets, reconnection of gas electricity, public transportation etc. were the main tasks at that time. The existing city districts simply continued. The first common election took place in December and the constitution of Berlin (West) was taken over in January 1991. 1995, the final constitution had been passed and confirmed by a referendum. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 20:15 | comment | added | Trish | Solidaritätszuschlag and the fact that the GDR became part of the Federal Republic of Germany. Nothing more. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 16:59 | comment | added | jamesqf | Also compare the other countries of eastern Europe that were liberated after the fall of the USSR. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 16:30 | comment | added | o.m. | Do you realize that East Germany did join West Germany, which was about four times larger at that point? West Germany provided money, experts, stability, and an existing legal/political framework which overwhelmed anything the GDP revolutionaries might have proposed. | |

| Feb 25, 2021 at 14:01 | comment | added | MCW♦ | @MoisheKohan, suggest you revise the question based on those assumptions and then pose an answer; I would upvote that Q&A | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 13:43 | comment | added | Moishe Kohan | Your question is very unclear and, in the current form, unanswerable, but if you want to understand the development of East Berlin after 1990, consider the amount one money invested into its infrastructure by the German Federal government. Start by taking a look here. | |
| Feb 25, 2021 at 13:36 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | Perhaps if some objective difference was added to the question to talk about, it would help. For instance, GDP growth numbers for the two cities may be available somewhere. | |
