La majorité des Allemands de l’Est considèrent leurs compatriotes de l’Ouest comme « arrogants » et généralement avides, selon une nouvelle enquête qui révèle des identités distinctes entre les deux parties du pays.

More than 22 years after the reunification of Germany following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, a major study by the Allensbach Institute showed that easterners held strongly negative views of westerners but high opinions of themselves. The study found that 71% of easterners believe westerners are "arrogant", 57% see westerners as interested primarily in money, and 45% believe westerners are "shallow". "East Germans have practically only negative views of west Germans," wrote Welt am Sonntag newspaper, which published excerpts of the Allensbach study on Sunday. "By contrast, the self-perception of east Germans is overwhelmingly positive."
The survey showed there are still strong perceptions of separate identities between east Germans and west Germans more than two decades after the end of the Cold War that led to German unification on 3 October 1990.
