Country Info Germany Introduction Germany General Data Germany Maps Germany Culture ... Germany Time and Date Germany Culture Back to Top THE OPENING OF THE BERLIN WALL on November 9, 1989, was one of the most dramatic events of the post-World War II time. In the ensuing months, much more than just the graffiti-covered concrete panels of that infamous structure came crashing down during carnival-like celebrations. After four decades, the division of an entire continent, a nation, and a society came to an abrupt end. A powerful force setting the revolutionary change in motion was a substantial movement of people from the German Democratic Republic westward. Throughout its forty-year history, the GDR had resorted to extreme measures to control its borders and halt the exodus of productive workers. The most extreme of these measures was the erection in 1961 of the Berlin Wall to check the sustained movement of East Germans to the Federal Republic of Germany whose booming economy had created millions of new jobs. Nearly three decades later, for a time of several years beginning in the summer of 1989, the appeal of West Germany, even with its economy mired in recession, prompted another wave of migration of more than 700,000 East Germans, most between the ages of eighteen and thirty. By mid-1995 it appeared that the physical and administrative mergers of the two German states would be far easier to accomplish than the social aspect of the union. In the postwar time, the two Germanys had assiduously developed two mutually exclusive models of society. Thus, the major challenge lay in harmonizing and integrating these societies, which were only gradually emerging from the long shadows cast by four decades of separate development in antagonistic systems.

Fact Sheets on Canadian Culture On Canadian Culture Flowing from a very strong oral tradition, Canadian theatre has not only world-renowned stage directors such as Robert Lepage and Denis Marleau, but also a large number of authors who have been translated into many languages, including German. In this vein, German companies recently staged works by Michel-Marc Bouchard, Daniel Danis, Michel Tremblay, George Walker, David Young and Colleen Wagner. Finally, Canadian modern dance has made noticeable inroads in German festivals in recent years. In 2002, 16 companies were invited, the most famous of which were Lalala Human Steps, Marie Chouinard, O'Vertigo, and Holy Body Tattoo.

    Reenchanted Science: Holism in Germany Culture from Wilhelm II to Hitler
    309 ISBN 691 02142 2 Lecturing in Munich in the aftermath of the first world war, Max Weber remarked on the "disenchanting" effect of modern scienceundermining "all transcendent principles, systematically stripping the world of all spiritual mystery, emotional colour, and ethical significance and turning it into a mere 'causal mechanism.'" While Weber accepted this development with grim faced stoicism, and Fritz Lang made a movie in which machines run rampant, the four German scientists discussed in this book sought to counter the machine-like view of existence with variants of life and mind sciences known as holism, or "Ganzheitslehre" in German.

The 10th century witnessed a growth in the power of central authority under the leadership of the House of Saxony, while in the 11th and early-12th centuries, under the Salian Dynasty, the power of the crown was in many ways at its height. In 1152, following a disputed succession and a civil war, the dynamic Frederick Barbarossa acceded to the throne: he is one of the most significant figures in German history. Frederick, his son Henry VI and his grandson Frederick II, made prodigious attempts to revive the reality of royal power in Germany and Italy, but the task proved impossible and by the late 13th century the country was seething with civil war.

    (click image for larger view) Why they left American Dream Many Germans were encouraged to immigrate through idealized depictions of life in the new world, like this illustration of happy farming life in Missouri. By far the most Germans who immigrated to the United States left Germany in search of an improved standard of living. Religious freedom prompted many groups to immigrate, as did fear of compulsory service in the Prussian military. Today, it is impossible to quantify what motivated immigrants to set out for the new world, but it has been determined that knowledge about the American business cycles, wages, food prices, and standards of living were widely publicized in Germany beginning in the 18th century. Land and railroad companies as well, often overstated opportunities for settlers willing to try their hand in the colonies. Those who left in pursuit of their own land often did so to reject the rigidity of the German social structure in the authoritarian German states.

    Welcome here! This site unveils the versatility of German Culture . The concept of culture includes many aspects like history and literature , art galleries and museums, or music and education or where to learn German or how to travel to Germany . This is but a very brief list of all possible categories defining culture of a certain country, community, or population. Switch on Deutschland – complexity and exactness are reflected in its name as well as in its sound like in the mirror. This country gave birth to such celebrities as Richard Wagner, Claudia Schiffer, Erich Maria Remarque, Albert Einstein , Sigmund Freud, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and many-many more.
    What kind of people are Aryans? Belligerent and arrogant, or kind and friendly? Do Germans usually walk around in Lederhosen drinking beer ? Is the life of German women really tied to the famous four K’s: Kirche, Kueche, Kinder, Kleider? Answers to these and lots of other questions you will find here. It often happens that the Germans and their Austrian and Swiss neighbors are the victims of cultural stereotyping and misconceptions. The horrible historic events during the reign of the Third Reich and the aftermath of the Second World War continue to color people's perceptions of a culture that has given the world not only Goethe, Mozart, and Einstein, but also Bismarck, Hitler, and Honecker. This site will attempt to offer a balanced look at one of the world's most significant cultures. This site will be a profile of the daily life and culture of the German people.

    j Web-Site about the Barnenez -Cairn Web-Site with scotch Cairns Site about Carnac Inside view of Cerveteri The less informed layman and even the expert may be surprised by this fact, but there are good reasons to believe in german pyramids. The archeological outcome offers only one conclusion.
    They are the biggest monuments of the Megalith-culture on the continent. Their size even exceeds on all the stony step-pyramids of brittany. There they are called "cairns" - prehistoric grave-houses and step-pyramids built in stone without mortar including one or several burial-chambers like dolmens or vaults of corbel-stone. The most famous example is the "Cairn of Barnenez" (picture 1)
    picture 1: Barnenez
    The Cairn of Barnenez during its reconstruction at the beginning of the 60s. The steps are planar. Before the disclosure of the burial-chambers, the monument looked like a scree or rubble heap, covered by rubble and debris. Cairns in Europe:
    Cairns even are common in Great Britain with the same designation. Generally the spreading of this megalthic tombs (mega = big, lith = stone) reaches from northern Africa, the Balear-islands, over Spain, France, Great Britain, Scandinavia, northern Germany and the northern Switzerland to Poland. Only here in southern Germany there is a blank in the map of dissemination.
