Since 2003 the invest into infrastructure is net-negative: https://www.kfw.de/PDF/Download-Center/Konzernthemen/Researc...

Surprise: Germany could not build up East Germany and keep the West German infrastructure at the usual levels.

Next surprise: we have a lot infrastructure and it is expensive to maintain. Look how many airports we have nobody needs.

Next surprise: in places we need more infrastructure. We are for example investing a lot of money into the energy system. Or transport.
