    Default Southern Germans Smarter than Northern Germans

    Better economical situations and learning conditions has given southern Germans and edge on their northern counterparts in terms of intelligence.

    "A German military doctor said on Monday that data from a decade of giving intelligence tests to young enlisted men shows that southern-born Germans are smarter than their northerners.
    With the latest European PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) results due to be released on Tuesday, Dr. Heinz J. Ebenrett says his data matches a north-south divide in German education.

    Based on his 1998 tests of 248,727 young men between 18 and 21-years-old, the former head of the Bundeswehr psychological service theorized that the smartest German men are from the southern states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony in the east. Men of “well below average” to average intelligence are often from the country's northern states, which have underperformed on PISA tests in the past.

    Ebenrett published his study in 2003 in magazine Das Parlament to little notice, but says the results reveal more than just a means of confirming stereotypes formed by PISA, because the result also seem to reflect socio-economic trends in Germany.

    "Limited economic power results in deficits in the education system and quality of life," he told news agency DPA. "This affects the intellectual development in children and youth."

    Meanwhile high rates of unemployment create a "shrinkage of intelligence potential" through the brain drain effect, he said."

    Bavarians tend to be more racist and xenophobe, what is good because Germany is flooded with so many illegals. Bavaria tho is pretty overpriced and life in Munich can be really expensive.

    I've visited numerous cities in Bavaria and it's definitely more expensive than the north.

    Ikr, eastern Germany tends to be the cheapest more closer to Poland, but the salaries are lower too.

    Propaganda map. The lightest color is the zone of influence of the USSR. In the USSR there was a very strong education, much more universal and extensive than in Western Europe. Germans from the East should at least be at the level of the whole of Germany

    Not sure. hundreds of years ago Germans in my home town of Cincinnati were Catholic and valued religion so much that they set up their own Catholic school system that still exists there today
