In response to sanmigsean... ease up, man. Germans themselves still refer to the area that used to be called East Germany as "east Germany". Maybe you should go after all those people that still talk about going to Czechoslovakia.

It's been a long time but there are still many noticable differences between west and east Germany--economy, condition of roads, mindsets of people who live there, and so on. As most Americans seem to refuse to admit these days, it takes a long, long time to unify and build a country--even an apparently successful one--and it takes even longer for the citizens of that country to change with it.

Bremen is and was, as said, of course west Germany.
The most important cities in East Germany (depart from Berlin of course, which is geographically also in East Germany, but was only half in the GDR) are Leipzig and Dresden (with about half a million inhabitants and a rich cultural heritage) in Saxonia. Saxonia is also the most healthy east german state, but still there is a big unemployment problem. Other important cities in East Germany (mainly the capitals of the state they're in):
Potsdam (capital, rich cultural heritage, important sciences) in Brandenburg,
Schwerin (the capital), Rostock (biggest city in this state, a port), Stralsund (world heritage city) and Greifswald (great science) in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania,
Magdeburg (Capital) and Halle (science and industry) in Saxonia-anhalt.
Then there is the state Thuringia, which is easily the most important one beneath Saxonia (and Berlin of course), but geographically it's rather central Germany than east Germany, but it was in the GDR. Most important cities are Jena (economic and scientific center) and Erfurt (capital and cultural center) and Weimar (cultural center, birthplace of such like Goethe).

Newsflash: East Germany ceased to exist about 17 years ago.

Bremen is in FORMER West Germany. Cities in FORMER East Germany inclue Dresden, Leipzig, Berlin, Potsdam.

Dude man, you need to read a newspaper.

Brendon, I lived there for 10 years and none of my friends have called it "East Germany" since the early 90's
