Abstract
The literature review in the previous chapter summarized studies that addressed regional mortality differentials in Germany from several perspectives. In this chapter, a more consistent overview of mortality trends in the German regions at different geographical levels is provided. The scene is set by a description of the mortality patterns and trends in East and West Germany and across the 16 German federal states (NUTS-1 level). This is followed by an investigation of small-area mortality trends in the following chapter ( Chap. 4).
