Is Germany in eastern or western Europe?

Germany is neither East nor west. Certainly on a political level it is intertwined with western Europe. However from a cultural point, Germany shares immense similarities with the westernmost Slavic nations. Some of these include the most intimate things a culture can produce such as food. Take for example the simple side dish Sauerkraut. This dish is prominent in all the eastern European countries all the way to Moscow. It suddenly loses popularity once one exits Germany in the west. Lively 3/4 time accordion music is another example. Though one may laugh at this, it is uniquely "Central" and Eastern Europeans that truly appreciate this genre of music, it flows in their veins so to speak. Germany is best described as Central Europe, because everything that flows from east to west or visa versa i.e. including commerce, trade, as well as cultural ideas MUST flow through Germany
