The culture of Germany varies across the sixteen German States and various natural regions of the country. Stereotypes of German culture and peoples exist, such as supposed extreme timeliness, but there is more to this nation and its people.[1] Those who wish to understand German culture beyond stereotypes may find it beneficial to "'put themselves in the Germans' shoes'" as an attempt to think as a German would.[2]

A variety of influences have impacted the Germany's past, present, and future. The history of Germany, from German prehistory to current events, provides background on the origins of German norms and outlooks. The Holocaust's profound impact on German history, as well as the divisions between East and West Germany and Jewish history in Germany, is a key point. The influence of the diverse populations who have lived in Germany, other countries in Western and Central Europe, German politics, and other factors are also at play in shaping modern Germany's culture.
