Germany is situated in
Central Europe between Poland and Netherlands. It borders the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It occupies a total of 137,822.640 square miles land area. Germany holds the sixth place among the largest countries in Europe – not bad for a well established, industrialized nation.
The country is divided into two major parts. Compared to the western part, the
eastern division occupies the third part of Germany and houses the fifth part of the population. Back then, before the unification, Bonn was the capital of Germany. After a series of debates, it was changed into Berlin.
In the world map, Germany looks like a piece of land with indefinite curvatures. It is rich with lakes, marshes, rivers, valleys, and streams. The topography of Germany is mainly made up of hills, plateaus, and mountain ranges with vast forests. Geographers prefer to divide modern German country into four major regions. They classified them as the Lowland, the Upland, the Southern part, and the Foreland or also known as Alps. While Germany is covered with woodlands, the temperature is cool. It experiences a long
period of rainfall.
