But in general, the central and western parts of Germany are better than the eastern and southern parts of the country, because there are many opportunities for us as foreigners to deal with local organizations when we immigrate to Germany.
The eastern part of Germany itself is more conservative, and the foreign affairs authorities, the chambers of commerce, the economic promotion bureaus, and so on, have less access to foreigners' investment cases, so the approval process takes longer and is stricter. The eastern part of the country also has more extreme locals who hate foreigners, plus there are more refugee issues now, so it is not recommended to go to the eastern part of Germany.
In addition, there are many people who like Berlin very much, after all, as the capital of German culture, whether it is the humanities, the city atmosphere, convenience and so on, are the reason why many people consider Berlin.
And West Germany, most of the North Rhine-Westphalia is good, but still want to choose all sides of the foreigners are more welcoming cities, such as Düsseldorf, Duisburg and so on. In North Germany, it is recommended to go to Hamburg, if you consider the convenience of transportation, Frankfurt itself is also a good choice. In the south, basically, the foreign ministry and other organizations are more conservative and more demanding.
