Elegant big-city charm, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired bring in festivals, a sumptuousness of art and culture and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castle and fine wine and beer are all nearby for the savouring.

When some people guess of German food they think around sausages, sauerkraut, and of course beer.
Othe food i.e. well prearranged are:
Sp"atzle (Egg noodles)
Kartoffelsalat (potato salad)
Sachertorte (chocolate apricot cake)
Gulaschsuppe (goulash soup)
Zwiebelkuchen (onion pie)
Bretzeln (pretzels)

Hello, I'm from Germany!
Someone have written Mozart was from Germany, but that's wrong. He be an Austrian. But there are a little famous musicians (Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich H"andel,...). You can also do Angela Merkel (the Bundeskanzlerin), Schweinebraten (I regard it's roast pork in English), the FC Bayern München (a top soccer club), beer, poets like Goethe and Schiller, the Oktoberfest and sauerkraut. Famous cities are Berlin, München (Munich), Hamburg, Bremen, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (this is where on earth is ski jumping every year on January 1st). Maybe you know Neuschwanstein Castle? It's exceptionally famous and really gorgeous. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich Heine, Thomas Mann. Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Sebastian Bach. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Karl Lagerfeld and Claudia Schiffer. Cities like Cologne (K"oln), Hamburg and Munich (München).
A defeater of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Willy Brandt. A peaceful revolution, followed by the reunification. A woman as commander of the government, Angela Merkel (though formally, the come first of state is still a man, Horst K"ohler).
German engineering, especially as far as cars go - Audi, BMW, Mercedes. The sweet and lovely suspension railway (Schwebebahn) in Wuppertal. Music by Nena and Kraftwerk and Rammstein, which you probably know, and by Wir sind Helden and Sportfreunde Stiller and Element fo Crime, which you should try listen to because they are great. Films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Tom Tykwer and Fatih Akin.
Hope this helps!
I'm surprised that these weren't mentioned; Albert Einstein (only mentioned once), The Scorpions, Chocolate, hi-ways, the best and most rationalized post office contained by the world, invention of the rocket and my personal favourite...Waldmeister (forest master-it's green) soda! The monk Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses interview the Roman Catholic Church in 1517, thereby sparking the Protestant Reformation.
In 1939, the growing tension from nationalism, militarism, and territorial issues led to the Germans launching a blitzkrieg on September 1 against Poland, followed two days next by declarations of time of war by Britain and France, marking the birth of World War II. Germany quickly gain direct or indirect control of the majority of Europe.
