On the face of it, this comparison seems pretty absurd. I haven't been to Mississippi, but I have been to many European countries, and can attest that Germany is pretty rich on the face of it, personal incomes aside. I wonder how such comparisons value public goods, and how well their basket of goods (for PPP weighting) is balanced.
Roughly in order of time spent, Neumünster, Bochum, Frankfurt am Main / Mainz, Hamburg and Berlin. I've never lived there, but my GF is German, and have been to and fro for weddings, meet parents, various trips etc.
I should hasten to add that this isn't an exhaustive list, I've been on a number of train trips too, but I wouldn't count the handful of hours in those places, e.g. Lübeck, Kiel, Flensburg.

Well, where in Germany have you spent serious time?
