	Germany Culture
		Germany's older regions, was custodian to the greater portion of the country's rich cultural legacy.
		Yet some of the greatest monuments of Germany's cultural and historical achievement were located in the German Democratic Republic, including the Wartburg of Luther near Eisenach, the Weimar of Goethe, the Leipzig of Bach; a large share of prewar Germany's art treasures rested in East Germany, especially in East Berlin and Dresden.
		Conversely, East Germany, while remaining surprisingly conservative in its adherence to some aspects of the received tradition, was powerfully molded by the dictates of a socialist ideology of predominantly Soviet inspiration.

	Political culture of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The political culture of Germany as of the early 21st century is known for both its welfare government, business and labour corporatism and prevalent Green and social democratic forces.
		In contrast, the country is uneasy with its central position in European integration and is struggling with heightening pressures of increasing immigration, mainly from Muslim and eastern Eurasian countries, and the continued gap between the wealthier former West Germany and the former East Germany.
		Germany is also historically uncomfortable with nationalism and militarism after the First World War and the Second World War which left the nation paralyzed and, ultimately, divided.

	Culture - Germany - Europe
		However, the antecedents of contemporary German art, music, and literature are so thoroughly embedded in the broader European intellectual traditions as to defy most attempts to separate any specifically German cultural roots.
		A visitor, for example, can see abundant evidence of early medieval art and architecture in the many splendid cathedrals, monasteries, and castles of Germany, but these follow the same styles and style periods that are be found in other European countries—Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, and so on.
		German literature and music were similarly part of the larger European culture.

		Lord is harboring some deep dislikes/distrust of Germans and German culture and after reading 80 percent of the book I find myself feeling rather depressed at the prospect of even visiting Germany, let alone living there.
		He also addresses all the practical aspects of living in Germany and that, in itself, is more than worth the price of the book in what it will save in lost time, lost money and buckets of frustration.
		It's never enough of a picture to know that a culture is "this way" without knowing why because every aspect of a culture is rooted in its very special and unique experience.

		In addition, I think it does a good job at homing in on the key features of German culture and psychology, esp the less well-known ones (environmentalism, the historiacal baggage, the melancholy side of the German soul and the recent change in German values).
		Only, he is so busy telling the reader how horrible Germany is that he has little time to discuss German culture and customs - which is why I was thoroughly disappointed.
		Having re-read the book several times with the hindsight of our own move to Germany, I can say from my own experiences that it is an honest and accurate account of Germany and the Germans at the turn of the 21st century.

		Popular Culture (Germany) Serious study of popular culture is usually concerned more with long-term trends than with sudden convulsions.
		But the impact of the short-lived upheavals of 1848-49 deserves attention because this brief period of unprecedented legal and political permissiveness revealed some of the tensions in mid-century German society that were normally concealed under a blanket of official repression.
		Thus the net result of this brief period of political freedom in Germany was a sudden, wholesale politicization of nearly all aspects of life; but his politicization led in many different directions at once.

		In their view, Germany is not America — it will never be a “country of immigration.” For others, a multiethnic Germany means cosmopolitan openness, multicultural diversity, and a chance to make good on the country’s dark history in the early half of the century.
		These questions complicate hotly debated issues such as ethnic and cultural hybridity, the rhetoric of diversity and identity, diaspora communities, and the future of the nation state.
		We also want to reflect on the consequences of multilingual and multilocal stories for histories of national cultures as they are taught at American universities.
