This research examines educational stratification over the course of German unification. During this transition, eastern German states experienced rapid educational restructuring and expansion of the upper secondary curriculum in the context of dramatic macro-level changes. The analysis, based on German Social Survey (ALLBUS) data, explores educational inequality at the secondary-school level with respect to social origins over the course of unification, comparing four settings: the pre-unification German Democratic Republic and Federal Republic of Germany, and eastern and western states of a now-united Germany. Empirical findings suggest widespread similarities in educational inequality between East and West Germany among cohorts schooled in the 1980s. Among those schooled in the 1990s, the two regions diverge somewhat more as the result of a moderate decline in the effects of social origins in eastern states.
