Germany is particularly famous for its outstanding contributions to music (Techno Music, Beethoven, JS Bach and many others), to literature (Goethe, Schiller and many others), to the arts, architecture, and to nearly all branches of science and scholarship. The German universities were the first to stress the importance of original research. From about 1880-1930 the German universities were widely considered the leading universities in the world for research.

Germany is also famous for its achievements in technology and engineering.

On a different note, Germany is famous for its beers.

On the negative side, Germany is associated with starting World War 2 in Europe and with the Holocaust.

Germany is well known for its contributions to:

  • science and scholarship (Roentgen and the discovery of X-rays, for example)
  • high precision engineering (top quality cars, for example)
  • beer
  • philosophy (Kant, Hegel)
  • music (Beethoven, Brahms)
  • literature (Goethe, Schiller and many others)
  • art (Grunewald, Duerer)
  • innovation in education, especially at university level (Wilhelm von Humboldt)
  • textual criticism of The Bible

Obviously, in the 20th century the Nazi period did great damage to Germany's reputation.
Germany is known for lots of things but two of the more common things include: cars (BMW, Mercedes and Porsche are all German cars), castles (the infamous Disney castle is based on the Neuschawnstein castle, a famous castle in Germany.

Germans are known for many things. They are hard-working people, that out of the rubble from World War II, they rebuit an entire nation. They have a passion for outdoor activities, especially hiking and boating. I lived in German years ago, and saw this for myself. Germans are known for their love of music, be it Opera, classical, folk and contemporary. Some of the greatest orchestras and bands come from Germany. Germans have always been known for their hospitality and making people feel welcomed. The Nazi nightmare is just that! The Germans that lived through the horrors of Hitler and the war, have tried very hard to be a much better society and to live peacefully with its neighbors. The Germans are known for their engineering excellence, for example, autos and commercial aircraft. They are high on the list of computer technology and telecommunications. The Germans are the largest number of tourists in the world. Germans love to explore and to travel. Since the end of the war, Germans have taken the lead in peace and justice issues. They are involved in enviornmental causes and other progressive causes. The Germans are known to be secular, not religious. Most Germans do not attend Church anylonger, especially the young. Germans are full of life and love food and beer. It wonderful to go to a beer hall and eat lots of great food and dance to lively music. The greatest thing about Germans today is that they are not known for being militarists or spending vast amounts of money on defense like in the United States.
