				<title>Germany: Western states are assigned to the GDR</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ When processing the hierarchy.txt file, I discovered, that the western states of Germany are associated with the former GDR (German Democratic Republic/Deutsche Demokratische Republik/DDR). 

The following states did <b>not</b> belong to the GDR:
2842635 (Saarland)
2953481 (Baden-Württemberg)
2951839 (Freistaat Bayern)
2944387 (Bremen)
2847618 (Rheinland-Pfalz)
2911297 (Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg)
2905330 (Land Hessen)
2862926 (Land Niedersachsen)
2861876 (Land Nordrhein-Westfalen)
2838632 (Land Schleswig-Holstein)

2950157 (Berlin) should be distinguished in West- and Ost-Berlin, where the latter was part of the GDR.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a place, where I could modify this association. Or maybe I did something wrong during my queries :) Then please let me know.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Where did you find those relations? I don't find any relation with East Germany at all. It is a 'historical political entity' and does not have any relations.
