About Germany

Germany anchors the heart of Europe, stretching from the North and Baltic Seas to the Bavarian Alps. Its capital, Berlin, is a city reinvented many times over, famous for its museums, nightlife and layers of history. Beyond the capital lie fairy-tale castles, the Rhine's vineyard valleys and the Black Forest, alongside a tradition of engineering, music and ideas that has shaped the modern world.

• ·Germany shares land borders with nine countries, from Denmark in the north to Austria and Switzerland in the south.
• ·Johannes Gutenberg introduced printing with movable type to Europe in the German city of Mainz in the mid-1400s, revolutionising the spread of knowledge.
• ·Germany answers to strikingly different names abroad — Allemagne in French, Niemcy in Polish, Saksa in Finnish — while Germans say Deutschland.
