On August 31, 1990, in East Berlin, the Unification Treaty of Germany was signed, marking a significant milestone in the reunification of the country. This treaty, which can be found in full here, regulated the process of reunification and outlined the changes that came with it.

The treaty was signed between the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, two distinct entities that were about to become one. However, the treaty did not specify how the federal states developed after reunification.

Although the treaty did not provide specific information about the negotiators involved, it is known that Wolfgang Schäuble represented the Federal Republic of Germany, while Günther Krause represented the German Democratic Republic. The treaty's negotiation process was not without contention, with contentious issues including detailed adjustment regulations due to systemic differences, especially since the German Democratic Republic joined the Federal Republic under Article 23 of the Basic Law.

After reunification, the former German Democratic Republic states were integrated as new federal states (Bundesländer) within Germany, adapting their political, economic, and administrative systems to the Federal Republic's framework. However, the treaty did not detail the most contentious issues in the negotiations, leaving some aspects of the reunification process shrouded in history.

As we commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Unification Treaty, it serves as a reminder of the historic event that brought Germany back together. Despite the treaty's omissions, it remains a crucial document that shaped the country's future. For those interested in learning more about this period, the treaty is available for public viewing.
