Abstract
The fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the eight major political upheavals in Eastern Europe in 1989, fueled popular enthusiasm for reunification, directly undermined the East German government's plans for control and reform, and put the German question back on the international political agenda. The different economic paths and outcomes between the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany led to different social outcomes, resulting in different social structures and social problems. In the end, the economic and social model of federal Germany came to the fore, but the after-effects of reunification and the new national environment forced Germany to embark on a different economic path after reunification. Such new changes in the economic sphere constantly triggered corresponding changes in the structure of German society. How to view these changes is a new problem facing contemporary German studies.
