When the wall fell the GDR basically experienced Shock Therapy like the former Soviet union states. Everything was privatized, property was seized, safety nets were dissolved. Poverty became so rampant that children born during that time period exhibited stunted growth similar to children raised during famines.
most social structures in eastern germany were organized within the workplace, factories had film and music-clubs for example and all of that virtually disappeared overnight when those workplaces became privatized.
