German Facts Revealed!

On this page I will provide some German Facts.

Germany (Deutschland), or Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland), is Europe's largest economy, most populous nation, and located in the center of the European continent.

It is one of the world's leading industrialist countries and in the G9 Country Union. Germany is a founding member of the European Union and forces the progress of the European uniting process.

German currency is the Euro (EUR — since January 1st, 2002).

For a long story about our history and how all came together, visit my other page about the German History Timeline.

More German Facts: Political Parties in Germany are the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Christian Social Union, but only in Bavaria (CSU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Alliance '90/Greens (Bündnis 90/Grüne), the Free Democratic Party (FDP), and the Party of Democratic Socialism, which was common in the GDR (PDS).

If you'd like to get kind of a political or historical overview, I refer to my other page about German's History Timeline.

Transport Infrastructure In Germany

Germany has a total of 231,400km (143,785mi) in Highways, whereby 12,000km (7,457mi) as the world famous "Autobahn." At some parts on the Autobahn you can drive as fast as you and/or your car can ;-) German cars are limited at up to 255km/h (155mi/h).

If you would like to drive faster, I recommend driving a Porsche, or in our Highspeed-Train ICE which drives 300km/h (186mi/h) on the railway from Frankfurt/Airport up to Cologne.

Further more, Germany has Railway lines of 43,800km (27,216mi), and Waterways of 7,500km.

But for now, a few more German Facts, numbers, and data. The information in the tables below are provided by the Federal Statistical Office Germany. Basically, it will tell you about the population of Germany and its States, and some more details.
