Abstract

The then West and East Germany originated from one nation, but there was big difference between their cultures before and immediately after the reunification in 1989. The difference is embodied in many aspects of the society, affecting deeply the individual life and national situation. Their formation has multiple causes, and various measures need to be made to bridge these gaps to reach the balance, so that Germany after the fall of Berlin wall can go ahead prosperously, and brings benefits to all its people.
