You must mean Schering AG, not Schering Plough. They are two different companies.

Companies not willing to move to Berlin. The company moves the headquarters and the taxes move along with them. Example: Siemens. The company moved headquarters there running away form labour militancy. Found a mostly -then- rurala area and lots os cheap workers. (It was like moving to China in today's environment) Now it's the biggest tax payer in Bavaria. If it moves I and I heard it has plan to do so but before needs to download a few businesses and a lot of employees) It is this taxes implications that prevents firms to move to Berlin. Anyway today's Berlin is a artifical capital. Can't just do a Dubai and give all kinds of incentives for companies to move in.
