Germany has survived a history filled with emotion. It is known as having started a World War and it was once two countries separated by the great Berlin Wall.
Referred to as the Federal Republic of Germany, the country covers an area the size of Montana.
Germany gives togetherness a whole new meaning. The population of the country is well over 82 million people with some of the largest populated areas being the capital city of Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Stuttgart, Dusseldorf and Bremen and Hanover.
The countryside of Germany offers a little bit of everything. If you travel towards the north, you will encounter the plains and shorelines the country has to offer. As you move to the center, there is a fertile basin and going on to the south, you will encounter the mountain range that it shares with the country of Switzerland.
This country’s climate is pretty equal across the land staying cool but has lots of rain.
The ethnic make up of this country is basically German, but there are some Danish and Slavic minorities. The Danes can be found in the north and the Slavic minorities are found mostly to the south. More than 7.3 million people have immigrated to this wonderful country, although there are immigration policies still place from Hitler’s regime.
There are two major religions in Germany. Split equally at 26 million each, they are Protestants and Roman Catholics. Another 3.3 million people consider themselves to be of the Islam faith. The official language of the country is German as you would expect. However, Russian, French and English are also spoken throughout several areas.
Some other tidbits of information for the country are on education, literacy and life expectancy of it inhabitants. Education is mandatory for a minimum of 10 years. So why shouldn’t you expect the literacy rate to be high? It is estimated to be more than 99%. Who lives longer in Germany? The women of course, they live 6 years longer than men. How long do the men live? Why to the ripe old age of 74. Germany is a country filled with history, some good and some bad, but it is still a wonderful place to visit and see, if not for the history and culture, then definitely for the Kieler Woche, the world’s largest sailing event.
