Germany

Like most languages no one person created it but if you want to talk about Modern German (Hoch Deutsch) specifically there were some key people in its modern day development.

Modern German most commonly resembles the dialects of central and southern Germany. There is another dialect in the north that is closer to Danish but all the German peoples speak (along with their local dialects) Hochdeutsch - Modern Standard German.

I would say the most important 2 people would have to be Martin Luther and Goethe.

Martin Luther created the German version of the bible @ a time when there was no common German language. He wanted to make a bible that everyone in the German speaking realm could read and so by translating the bible he made a single unified German language that was intelligible between most of the dialects.

Goethe is like the William Shakespeare of the German speaking world (except he was a real person). He wrote many works with vivid use of Martin Luthers German. Through his works he showed how the German language could be strectched and bent to form many different ideas in many different ways.

They may play them next year only.

Germany was divided into 360 states due to the industrial revolution, therefore, there interests were put over the states interests as a whole. Also, Germany had never really seen a democratic government before!

Cologne is called Germany's television capital.

Germany consists of sixteen states.

Hitler treated German Jews as badly as foreign ones. He was murderous.

Well, without knowing what time period you are referring to, I think the best answer is probably just that they looked just like people from the surrounding countries. Similar clothing and habits, although the language would vary more widely depending on how far away you got.

No. Since 2002 Germany has used the Euro as its sole currency. (The Mark is no longer legal tender). Traditionally (until 1961) the Mark: US dollar exchange rate was DM4.20 = 1 USD. Then until the 1970s it was 4:1 but that was a coincidence and not a matter of calibrating the mark to the quarter.

Modern suburban houses are usually single storied, as seen from the front. But, also have a cellar underneath. (It's much like an attic, in e.g. houses of the USA.) So, a lot of times double-storied, as seen from the back. The houses have central heating, with double glazed windows. The lounge, for instance, doesn't have overhead lights. But, has lights on the walls. Kitchens are separate rooms. Toilets are in small rooms, much like stalls in public toilets. That's separate to the bath, shower, wash bowl. And so on.

Many people in urban areas live in apartments (flats), which come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.

The river flowing through Kassel is the Fulga; nearby is the Eder.

Me as a German, i can say we don't eat special food on that day :D

By 1917 the American people became increasingly hostile to Germany. A number of incidents and factors came to head that brought the USA into the war. These all added up the following acts by Germany turned the US against Germany:

* Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium;

* Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare;

* Germany's attempts to sabatoge US industries; and

* the perception that Germany tried to involve Mexico in a plot against America.

Provided one of your parents was a German citizen at the time your birth, you may be entitled to German citizenship. You can't get a German passport simply because you regard yourself as German or of German heritage or origin: you need to be a German citizen.

Frankfurt (FRA) is the leading German hub.

Not a City but a Village, about 4 kms from Lubz, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It has been there since the 1500's long before the fuel benzin was used as gasoline in cars. The village has nothing to do with petrol/gasoline it is a small farming village.

Germany has lots of festivals in the summer which are entertaining, i.e. Fish Festivals, Food & Wine Festivals, even an Onion Festival. Most major cities have several festivals occurring in the summer.

Sausages (either on a bun like a hotdog or on a stick are popular, as are large pretzels and of course beer.
