In the World Bank real GDP per capita series (inflation-adjusted to 2015 prices), https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?locations=Z7-DE-EU&most_recent_value_desc=true&start=1973 https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?location... German GDP per capita grew by a factor of ≈2.20 from 1973 to 2023, for the European Union as a whole it grew by a factor of ≈2.29 and if you include all of Europe and Central Asia it grew by a factor of ≈2.16. - All of these are decent growth in my eyes. - Germany might not be the best proxy for the EU economy in general. - EU countries are doing better than non-EU countries in the region in aggregate.
