Germany is known for their excellent public system of transportation. It is very famous for their autobahn (highway system) it has no direct speed limit. The Lufthansa is the national character which is Germany’s largest airline. Nearly every large city in Germany has their own airport serving domestic and international flights. The biggest airport is in Frankfurt. The airport of Frankfurt is Europe’s third busiest airport gateway. Bus transportation in Germany is extensive, it runs along major railway routes and connects major towns with locations a train is not accessible to go into. Major central bus stations are usually located in the town or city’s main train station. Smaller bus servers typically have their own bus terminals. Driving is the best by far transportation to get around a/the country, but if you have no car you are able to use a popular carpool. The average money percentage of every household spent on transportation is about 13%. There is a street car (Straßenbahn) in every medium to large cities, it sometimes runs underground and is fairly expensive. The U-Bahn is ...
“Have you ever noticed how anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and everyone going faster than you is a maniac?” George Carlin once, jokingly asked. However, this is not the case for drivers on the famous highway systems in Germany. When you drive in Germany you can be“idiot” in the government’s eyes if you go too slowly, drive in the wrong lane or impede the flow of traffic. This distinction is not unique in Germany but is applicable on their federal highway system, aptly named the Autobahn. Rules regarding how anyone driving on the autobahn state that a driver must go a certain speed, or that driver becomes a public safety hazard, much like that of speeders in America. Many foreigners only hear how the autobahn has no speed limit and that is not necessarily true. There are in fact many areas that are speed limited and strictly enforced by the polizei and speed cameras integrated into the guard rail or surroundings. German drivers receive up to two years of very expensive and intensive training before driving within the country. In my opinion, I believe there should be an Autobahn-like system in America because it teaches future generations not only maturity, but also discipline and responsibility.
Gustave Stresemann had a lot of influence over Germany in the period between 1923 and 1929. Though he was only chancellor for a short while he occupied other very important positions such as Germany’s Foreign Minister. Before Stresemann took charge in 1923 the Weimar Republic had many problems.
Germany experienced a lot of economic changes after Germany was split into East Germany and West Germany. Initially, West Germany was established as a federal republic but was established as it’s own independent nation in 1955. Many events happened in West Germany from the 1950s to the 1980s before Germany became one nation again. There were events such as “oils price shocks, generous social programs, rising deficits and loss of control.” East Germany’s economy was strong due to the Soviet Union’s reliance on Eastern Germany’s production of machine tools, chemicals and electronics. It became appealing to reunite with West Germany when the value of East Germany’s currency became “worthless” outside of it’s country because Eastern Germany was relying on the Soviet Union’s demand (Marketline).
Unlike in the United States, train travel is a German way of life. You can get on at train at any bahnhof (train station) and travel to any destination in Europe you would like. The Germans use the train as their main mean of travel due to pollution and the inflated gas prices. Americans tend to use the automobile as our main mean of travel more than we should.
Germany and its Economy Known as the "fair" capital, Germany lies in the center of Europe and in the center of the European home market. Approximately two thirds of the top international fairs take place in Germany. Germany is successful. A leader in world trade, Germany is the third largest economy in the world and the biggest market in Europe. It wasn't always this way though; European power struggles wounded the country in two devastating World Wars in the first half of the 20th century and left the country dominated by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union in 1945.
The country of Germany is one of the strongest economies in Europe as a whole. A brief history and overall status of this country is going to be explained giving examples and demographics. Along with my understanding of the information, I will try to help you understand the importance of this country’s overall macroeconomic stance that contributes to today’s wealth of the European Union.
Germany has many interesting facts. Germans wear their wedding rings on their right hand instead of the left hand as it is in the United States. German students go to school 220 days a year instead of 180 like United States students do. They also have a 500-year purity law that is regarding to their beer. This law makes it where Germany can only have hops, malt, yeast, and water in their beer. In Germany, they allow their animals in restaurants, churches, and other public places. When eating, do not put your left hand in your lap they consider that as looking like your feeding the dog. Germans do a lot of bicycle riding all around there country and, it is one of their favorite recreations. These are many interesting facts about Germany and the people of Germany. Culture and lifestyle in Germany is not quite, as it is in the United States. Germany is a very small country with some of the best cuisines. Foods that are most associated with Germany are Sauerkraut and Bratwurst, with a pitcher of lager. These traditional foods hold special meanings to the...
Force Field Analysis is a method for listing, discussing, and assessing the various forces for and against a proposed change. A force field analysis helps analyzing all of the Things that will impact change to what you are trying to do, and it gives you the pros and cons of the situation. Having identified these, you can then develop strategies to reduce the impact of the opposing forces and strengthen the supporting forces. An effective team building tool, it is especially useful when you want to overcome resistance to change(Lewin K 1997). , The life space includes only those aspects of the environment that are perceived at some level, either consciously or unconsciously, by the individual (M. Lewin 1998) because Wheeler (2008, p. 1640) observed that: ‘[the] Life space is the total psychological environment that the person experiences subjectively, although not necessarily consciously’, Therefore, in order to understand, predict and begin to change a person’s behaviour, it is necessary to take into account everything about the person and his/her perceptual or psychological environment in order to construct the person’s life space (Lewin 1943a).
Germany is located in the continent of Europe and is part of the European Union. Its capital is Berlin and has a population of 81,305,856. Germany is located in north-central Europe. It shares boundaries with nine other countries: Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Germany is situated in northern central Europe. It shares its boarders with nine other European nations (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland), which makes it in the middle of one of the most attractive trading zones in the world. From its position on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the north, Germany has easy access to the Nordic nations and the United Kingdom. Germany’s capital is Berlin which is the country’s largest city in terms of area and one of the most influential centers in European politics and culture. It is considered the largest European economy and one of the largest economies in the
Munich, is the capital of the region of Bavaria, located in the southern part of Germany. As one of the top three largest cities in Germany, closely linked to Hamburg and Berlin in size, Munich is home to 1.349 million people (CIA). Located in close proximity to the Alps and Isar River, the city today thrives as a tourist destination, financial industry, marketplace and home to the renowned German beer festival known as “Oktoberfest” (Gray, Jeremy).
Germany has not always been the great world power and cultural hub that we know of today. With the influence of both Austria and Prussia, the Germanic people struggled through the chaos of the 19th century to slowly form and unite. In fact, the European country wasn’t unified until January 18th, 1871 when King William I, a Prussian king, was offered the hereditary crown of a united Germany. Germans were determined to define themselves as a great power and would achieve this with force if need be. That said, the German’s expansion of military, colonial, and industrial might would lead them straight into the First World War.
Major German cities include: Berlin (3.4 million), Hamburg (1.7 million), München (Munich)(1.2 million), Käln(Cologne)(964,000), Frankfurt, Essen, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Dresden, Hanover, and Bonh. All these major cities have a wonderful cultural history; consisting of over two-hundred theatres and opera houses, one-hundred large orchestras, and more than two-thousand museums amongst them. Most of the cultural ongoings in Germany are financed by the state and local governments.
Germany is a pretty good place to live if you get used to it, but I can’t. I had a really hard time learning the language. German didn’t make any sense for me and my parents said that’ normal, but again I don’t think so.
The interrelationship between transport and tourism remains perhaps one of the most important relationships within the wider tourism system. A remarkable fact is that people travel in varying distances by various means for a variety of reasons, and transport provision sits at the heart of that movement. Transport is essential for tourism because it facilitates the movement of tourists from their place of origin and their destinations, and acts as the means of movement within a destination thus allowing larger amounts of people (Tourists)to visit places that are hard to reach or that are unknown for most people.
