Picture one of the largest countries in Europe with a population of over 83 million people and probably the highest number of clinks of enormous glass beer steins per person. If Germany popped straight into your mind, then this post might be just what you need.

But it’s so much more than that. With their complex language and rich culture, there’s also the mesmerizing nature and thousands of medieval and more modern castles.

Plus, like every country in the world, it too has its own weird little quirks. To show you how unique this country truly is, Bored Panda has scoured the internet and put together a list that vividly illustrates everyday life in Germany.
