I read an English language article which I wish I could find. A girl was traveling after the DDR collapsed between east and west Berlin, or Nuremberg and Chemnitz or the like. She said on the old western side there were Turks all over, and red light districts and that sort of thing, whereas in the east it was still in many ways like the Germany in 1949. That in a number of ways, west Germany was more left wing than east Germany.
