Germans is also pretty densely populated. There are 82 million Germans but only under 11 million Swedes for example.

Give it another decade and the eastern block EU countries will continue to grow faster than Germany as they still have a lot of catch up to do in terms of infrastructure and economic reforms.

Germany regularly killing most of highlighted countries might’ve helped them

Yeah that’s not gonna last long. Germany gets a large part of their GDP from the car industry, and European car manufacturers have been in denial of EVs being the future as much as MAGA supporters have been in denial about vaccines being safe and effective. And it’s gonna end the same way. They’re gonna die because of their own stupid choices.

It won’t be long before things look different. European countries are growing strongly, while Germany has not had any significant economic growth for six years.

Still most people here almost can’t afford proper housing, food and medical care. Germany was brilliant in the 90s but we’re living in a crazy downwards spiral since then.
You get „cheap“ medical care, but it becomes more expensive from year to year and if you want to have a tooth replacement the insurance pays you the cheapest model, which needs to be replaced often and looks like a kid made it out of play doh. Everything better you must pay yourself.
Same with everything else.
Our chancellor tells us we should work longer per week and longer until the retirement, while everything gets automated more and more and he’s a rich guy who was never part of the normal people.
Edit: my point is – there are very few rich people who’re profiting by this awesome economy, but it’s not the working class, because they’re getting poorer every year.

Germany was always the main beneficiary of the EU and Eurozone.

Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland and Romania account for more than half of the yellow area GDP too

Of the yellow zone, the Polish GDP is almost 1/4th. I’m so happy how far we have come since the fall of communism.

GDP (at Market Exchange-Rates) shows economic output and prices, prices are lower than in GER in nearly all of these countries, lower prices for housing, services, energy etc. will lower the GDP. In addition most of these countries have a much larger informal economy as % share of their GDP, on average atleast 25% while its 15% for GER. Most Economic organisations use to Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) for such economic comparisons.
[The World Bank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GNI_(PPP)_per_capita#Purchasing_Power_Parity_(PPP)): Typically, higher income countries have higher price levels, while lower income countries have lower price levels ([Balassa–Samuelson effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balassa%E2%80%93Samuelson_effect)). Market exchange rate-based cross-country comparisons of GDP at its expenditure components reflect both differences in economic outputs (volumes) and prices. Given the differences in price levels, the (economic) size of higher income countries is inflated, while the size of lower income countries is depressed in the comparison. PPP-based cross-country comparisons of GDP at its expenditure components only reflect differences in economic outputs (volume), as PPPs control for price level differences between the countries. Hence, the comparison reflects the real (economic) size of the countries.
[OECD](https://www.oecd.org/en/data/insights/data-explainers/2024/06/purchasing-power-parities—frequently-asked-questions-faqs.html#PPPs3): ‚The major use of PPPs is as a first step in making inter-country comparisons in real terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and its component expenditures. Calculating PPPs is the first step in the process of converting the level of GDP and its major aggregates, expressed in national currencies, into a common currency to enable these comparisons to be made.“ (OECD is 38 mostly western countries)
My country may not have a GDP as high as Germany but at least the trains arrive ( and on time).

Yeah, so what? 40% of Germans don’t even own a house, they rent. Country is flooded with immigrants. Average German wouldn’t let his 17 yo daughter go out after 8 PM.

**This is a misleading comparison**. All the yellow painted countries are growing much faster than Germany. I’ll give you an example:
In the year 2000, Germany’s GDP was 10 times higher than Turkey’s.
In 2025, German economy is just 3.3 times larger than Türkiye’s GDP.
Germany is definitely losing ground because other nations are catching up.

Because there is over 80 million in Germany, it is not impressive

Many people, much economy. Germany has 80 million inhabitants. All yellow states have low population. That’s a purposely misleading map.
