Abstract	This article examines the presentation of West Germany's "economic miracle" and East Germany's planned economy in school textbooks published between 2014 and 2016. The textbooks tell a success story of the "social market economy" that hardly takes into account the academic research of the last forty years. The results furthermore show that contemporary sources were altered in the process of textbook production in order that they adhere to the German success story. These findings, however, do not only point to conscious ideology production and a lack of knowledge, but also suggest that competition among publishers is an explanatory factor. Multiperspectival and controversial presentations of the economy occur only sporadically. It is therefore questionable to what extent the textbooks benefit historical learning.
