I intend to start with some basics about Germany that can later be used for reference. All entries will be tagged for easy lookup. Let's start with the German states.

Hey! I'm so glad you started this community! I began studying German a few months prior and your page reminded me that learning the language itself is a far cry from actually knowing a culture. So thanks for posting, i find these material really helpful so far, i'll regularly check the community for more. :) So thanks again for this awesome work. :) -- Livia

Very cool, welcome to the community! Feel free to invite anyone who might be interested, too. :) I'm a German native and feel the world should know more about Germany than just WW2-related things. It's necessary but sometimes it seems that's all anyone ever talks about in relation. I don't think that's fair. There's so much more to the country - so I started this community as a sort of personal "diplomatic mission". :)
