Germany is the most successful country in European football, having won the FIFA World Cup four times and the UEFA European Championships twice, boasting five different Ballon d'Or winners, and European super clubs like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Yet, Germany's footballing prowess isn't remotely evenly distributed. Since reunification in 1990, no east German club has won the Bundesliga, and not a single team from the last DDR-Oberliga competes in the top flight of German football now.
So in this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at why all of German's footballing powerhouses are based in the west, what has held the east back, and whether RB Leipzig and Union Berlin could change all of that.
