A wrecked and abandoned production building of the former East German VEB car factory where BMW and Wartburg cars were built is seen in Eisenach, eastern Germany, Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020. The factory was closed in 1991. In the 30 years since Germany was reunited on Oct. 3, 1990, many companies and facilities didn’t survive the abrupt transition to capitalism. Inefficient companies found themselves struggling to compete in a market economy, while demand for eastern products slumped and outdated facilities were shut down.  (AP Photo/Michael Probst)
