Crap! People are moving because the whole towns depending on one Kombinat as common during commie times have a hard time to rebuild and restructure themselves and to build a new diverse Mittelstand. That will take another generation or two.
Also the wages and others stuff is still not on par with the West because of the high costs
of the rebuilding, but that won't take as long.
PS: At least they are not moving to another country...;)
Eastern Germany was/is being rebuild from scratch as flattened West Germany was after the war...soon to be the most modern part of Germany.
But already today eastern Länder like Saxony are leading the country in high tech and green energy! And Wessis are coming for work here..."Silicon Saxony" ;)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony
:)
It's the Wessis who now want the Soli tax be scratched or used for their own holey roads instead.
Well...there will always be Meck-Pomm but they can work it out with Tourism....
BB eastern Germany even today is sh*t, people preferred to abandon it rather then rebuild so your point is moot.

Yadda yadda yadda...
Germany was destroyed and partitioned also for 60 years...and West Germany had to integrate and modernize a whole country in the last 20 years....nobody was born with the golden spoon.
Oh I do...Germany is working hard to make and keep Poland prosperous and stable.
All are profiting from that. It would be nice of you to recognize this now and then too...instead of always harking back to "the war" and enjoying germanophobe barbs.
What is that supposed to mean?
From the other hand Poland before the war wasn’t the most developed country in Europe but was richer than some countries which are today considered as “old EU” and our aim is to regain our position. It seems we are going to regain our position but it will be harder.

Major German investments in Poland focus on the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, banking and insurance, the wholesale and retail trade as well as the energy sector. Also of increasing importance is business process outsourcing, e.g. in the IT sector.

Na ja..it's a bit more than just bringing them "on board"...
They were toddlers when their families came to Germany...they got entirely schooled, trained and educated in the german system.
Who knows what would had become of them if they had stayed in Poland? I'm not sure if one can guarantee their talent would had been discovered and furthered that way if the environment would had been different....
Poland and Germany are very similiar actually...also with being football crazy...Poland once had a good team too...but something right now sucks in the system...
Maybe they were already more merged then meets the eye? Especially with intermarriages on the border area.

Poland's loss and Germany's gain. Germany deserves credit for bringing them on board.

When Germany "runs out of money" all other european countries (inclusive Poland) will be much to busy with their own catastrophes having "run out of money" long before Germany.
So, don't get your knickers in a knot about that one! ;)
And vice versa too...a richer Poland which doesn't need so much support money anymore and can buy more of our products is preferable for us too..
Yeah...our Mannschaft plays way more attractive by now! :)
