Moving to Germany?
Germany shares more borders than any other country in Europe, which may account
in part for its stirring history. Emperor Augustus was unable to expand the Roman
Empire east through the territory of the Gothic tribes that lived here originally
and they were left to settle the land around the Rhine and the Danube rivers undisturbed.
Other than a few incursions into Roman territory, they kept under the radar of history
until Charlemagne founded the Carolignian Empire in 800. What became known as the
Holy Roman Empire continued to expand under different dynasties, taking in parts
of Northern Italy and Burgundy, until Martin Luther published his 95 Theses in 1517,
challenging the basic precepts of the Catholic Church, setting the scene for the
expansion of Protestantism and dealing a shocking blow to the Empire. Religious
conflict led to the dissolution of the empire into a series of principalities; they
would not be reunited until Otto von Bismarck forged the German Empire, ruled by
the Prussian Hohenzollern dynasty, in 1871.
The ambition of the country’s leaders brought it into direct contention with the
British Empire; the First World War left 2 million German soldiers dead and saddled
the population with enormous war “reparations” to pay back. Crippled by debt, with
a failing leadership, it was hardly surprising that Germans turned to the stirring
speeches and radical solutions offered by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party. The Holocaust
that followed remains the most horrific example of genocide perpetrated by the human
race. Since the Second World War, Germany has reinvented itself as a vibrant modern
economy, with one of the highest standards of living, the third largest immigrant
population and some of the strictest environmental policies in the world.
With its rich history and dramatic landscape, Germany is a prime tourist destination.
Berlin is often described as the most exciting city in Europe. Most visitors go
straight to the Brandenberg Gate, which offers a poignant reminder of the Wall and
the Cold War, before heading off to see the Reichstag and other city landmarks.
It is culturally that the city stands out most of all, with several new art galleries
and annual events including the Berlin Film Festival in February. The baroque glories
of Dresden, also known as Florence of the North are not to be missed, while UNESCO
World Heritage site Bamberg is one of the country’s most beautiful cities, with
a majestic centre, wonderful cathedral and superb palaces perched in its seven hills.
For a more earthy feel, Munich offers rich folklore and – of course – the Oktoberfest
beer festival. Nature buffs are well rewarded here: a third of the land is forested.
Berchtesgaden National Park, is home to the pristine Königssee, perhaps Germany’s
most photogenic lake, and the hiking is excellent. The mountain-top Eagle’s Nest,
a lodge built for Hitler, is a major drawcard. The Rhine valley is one of the most
romantic places in Germany, with wild picturesque countryside dotted with exquisite
castles. Finally, Germany is renowned for its wildlife sanctuaries, zoos and aquaria.
Zoologischer Garten Berlin is the oldest zoo in the country and is home to the most
comprehensive selection of species in the world.
