To avoid talking on hearsay and "impressions", here's some solid facts about German economy right now. Source: Statistical office of Ministry of Economy, FR Germany (copied from Sueddeutsche Zeitung Sat 18.4.98)

mortgage (10yr) 6.40

My opinion: if it were not for 12% unemployement and the differences between the east and west (new and old lands above), this would be the best of the worlds.
