The German language is older than English. The English language is developed from Latin, Greek, Italian, German, French, Spanish and many more. The English language is relatively new compared to other languages. The reason for this is because we were invaded by lots of people over the centuries, and all languages are at least loosely linked, (the Asian languages are linked together, but not linked to European languages), so while England may not have been invaded by some countries, it still has elements of their language in English.

As of 2021, the German Mark (DEM) is no longer in circulation since Germany adopted the Euro (EUR) as its currency in 2002. Therefore, the value of 100 German Mark would be purely historical and would depend on the exchange rate at the time of conversion to another currency like the Euro.

That depends on the Bundesland (Federal State). The earliest start of the school year 2010/2011 will be in Bremen, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia (5th August) and the latest will be in Bavaria (14th September).

In most Federal States the summer holidays start at a different time each year, so naturally they also end at different dates each year. Therefore you can't pinpoint a specific date, but it's always in August or in the 1st half of October, usually at a Monday or Thursday.
