The East-West Gradient in Spatial Population Development within Ger- many: Temporary GDR Legacy vs. Longstanding Spatial Disparities Sebastian Klüsener, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Emilio Zagheni, The City University of New York Abstract Since the unification of Germany in 1990, the former communist eastern part of the country has experienced substantial levels of population decline and outmigration. These trends are largely attributable to East-West differences in economic development (Mai 2007). In this article, we explore the question of whether the recent decline in population is a temporary phenomenon related to the period of transition, or whether long-term geographical factors also affect spatial population trends in Germany. In particular, we investigate to what ex- tent East-West differences are related to the fact that parts of western Germany belong to the European dorsal (or Blue Banana arc), which has long been the most important area of economic activity in Europe (Brunet 1989).

INTRODUCTION AT THE FOOT OF THE PAGE Explore the Pfalz! Welcome to the Pfalz Discover a magical place, enjoy our land, savour the scents, colors and unique views while tasting the finest wines! We often see some genuine surprise on people’s faces when describing our Pfalz. It is commonly believed that in Germany there is no such thing as a place where the climate is mild, the landscape is dotted with hills, vineyards and woods and offers stunning views, and locals know how to enjoy life and welcome you with a smile. The Pfalz looks very much like the land it is covered with: very few corners, a lot of sweet curves. A horizon of vineyards extending from the valley to the hills and, to the west, the forest beyond. To the east, the Rhine’s vast riverbed. The main city, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, is a true gem, lying half-way between the border with Alsace, to the south, and the elegant and busy Frankfurt to the north.
