It is well known that the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the German Democratic Republic (GDR) have reunited. The new federal states with about 17 millions inhabitants are: East-Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommem, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt and Thiiringen. This paper (talk) begins with a description a of the sewage disposal situation at the time of the reunion and then goes on to discusses the improvements that will have to be made. Finally a few examples of the situation in the cities and rural areas will be presented.
