Content: Philosophy
Some of the most famous philosophers were born and lived in Germany, as Immanuel Kant, who played a central role in the history of philosophy, and he was inspired by German philosopher Schopenhauer and Nietzsche who spent their whole lives in Germany. On the other hand the developers of the communist theory Marx and Engels were also Germans. Cuisine
Germans drink a lot of beer, eat sausages and make bread of different taste. That is not only a stereotype, but a true fact. It is estimated that the average German consumes around 140 liters of beer per year. Only in 2012 alone, Germans drank 2.25 gallons of beer, which is actually the lowest level since the fall of the Berlin wall in 1990. They are the second largest beer consumers in Europe, after the Czech. Wurst, which means sausages in German, are an important part of the German cuisine, which are made of pork, beef or veal and flavored differently. As for bread, there is a long tradition of bread-baking of which Germans take pride in. There are breads with different shapes, black and white, with different tastes and names, sweet, soft, plain with all types of seeds you could think of.
