How does the dependence on exports, particularly evident in Jena, contribute to the regional disparities in industrial performance?

The Ilm-Kreis's strong performance is attributed to its strategic location, housing Thuringia's main industrial area, "Erfurter Kreuz," home to major companies. Conversely, cities like Suhl, Weimar, and Gera, along with the Unstrut-Hainich district, lagged in industrial growth. This uneven distribution underscores the concentration of industrial activity in specific regions.
