Dear David, From my time as an "Azubi" in the "Gesetzliche Sozialversicherung", I remember that the average annual income (Jahresdurchschnittsentgelt) is mentioned in Sozialgesetzbuch VI, Anhang I. This is actually online, as I just realised; please see: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/sgb_6/anlage_1_584.html It's an overview which ranges from 1881 till today, and it at least provided yoi with an idea of what average annual income of people was. For example, if you look at 2001, it was 55216 (DM obviously) and the year after, in 2002 it was 28626 (Euro, of course). So the numbers are in RM, DM, and EUR respectively. Not sure this helps - but it somehow might (though it doesn't cover the GDR).

Or to find out what a Mark in 1973 was worth in pounds at that time and provide a converter that tells the reader what its value would be in sterling today? Online resources would be more welcome, but hard copy would also be fine.
