Notes:

^a“West Germany” refers to the federal states that formed the Federal Republic of Germany before the reunification. “East Germany” refers to the five (former) states of the German Democratic Republic, which were re-established on July 22, 1990, following the reunification. Berlin is considered separately because, before the reunification, part of it belonged to the German Democratic Republic and another part to the Federal Republic of Germany
