I also remember hearing that West Germans who relocated to West Berlin
also received some sort of tax incentive. Nicht wahr?

Employees who worked in West Berlin received the "Berlinzulage"
("Berlin bonus") of 8 percent added to their salary.

Not bad, I suppose. Similar to what they do in Canada, for example, when
people receive premiums to their salary for being in remote northern areas.

An idea for Middlesbrough?
