About Germany

Germany is a country in central Europe and a member of the European Union. The official name of Germany is Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany).

Germany has transformed itself into an economic powerhouse and European super-state, after rising from the ashes of World War Two.

It is a country that attracts stereotypes, from lederhosen-clad beer drinkers, to a national reputation for efficiency and rigour. Of course these generalisations are not entirely representative of the German people or the landscape they inhabit, both of which hold many surprises, and each region has its own idiosyncrasies to offer.
