The generational reckoning and by proxy the reckoning with authority figures of the 60s didn’t happen in east Germany, leading to a completely different socialisation of whole generations.
The differences are subtle, but can be observed in many aspects of everyday life.
Add to that a lack of interaction with foreigners (thereby increasing xenophobia) because none of those want to go there in the first place and you get a self reinforcing circle.
