Answer: The East German communist command economy limited economic prosperity

Explanation: East Germany was part of the Soviet interest zone after the Second World War. Like all other countries with imposed communist regimes, the economy is strictly governed by the government, that is the command economy. In an economy where there is no free market, all economic parameters are determined by the government, and so is the case of East Germany. Although Berlin was completely destroyed at the end of WWII, West Berlin, which was part of the Western Allied Zone, advanced much faster than East Berlin.
