Abstract
No country in Western Europe has encountered so many consequences of the revolutionary geopolitical changes in Eastern Europe as Germany. The fall of the Iron Curtain meant a reunion of Eastern and Western Germany with major social (and financial) consequences. The migration in the period 1987 up to and including 1992 reflected the enormous changes. Over 2 million immigrants arrived in Germany in that period. Furthermore, 1.6 million immigrants with German passports (Aussiedler) from Eastern Europe also settled themselves. In all, Germany had to accommodate nearly four million immigrants over a very short period of time. The shock that was created was accompanied by neo-Nazi excrescences. A sad, all-time low was reached in May 1993 with the assault in Solingen.
