Positions

In 2019, the IWH, headed by Gropp, suggested in its report “United Land - Three Decades after the Fall of the Wall” that only the cities should receive funding in the eastern federal states. After criticism from politicians, Gropp reiterated this position: "The big cities are the engine of development - and have an impact on the countryside."
