There might also be a difference between the Länder.

Case in point: A friend and colleague of mine had a full position in Dresden (AI) and he got a little more than 30k (AFAIR before deductions). That was around 2009 I guess.

Maybe in high rent cities (Munich, ...) it's different?

There is a difference between east and west Germany, but not specifically between the Länder.

In 2009 you would have gotten (before deductions) ~34873 in the east and ~37852 in the west. In 2018 it is ~45863 in the east and ~45900 in the west. This is all assuming a full-time E13 position.
