3) BORDERS:

Germany has common borders with Denmark in the north, with Poland and the Czech Republic in the east, with Austria and Switzerland in the south, with France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands with west.
Germany is a federal state of sixteen Lander (states). In July 1990, the five former East German Lander, dissolved in 1952, were reconstituted and in October 1990, the date of the reunification of the two Germany, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Saxony were added to the eleven West German Lander: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein and the three city states of Berlin, Bremen and Hamburg.
The western Lander are much more populated than those in the east, which account for 30% of the population. 100 of the total area, just over one-fifth of the population. The Lander dominating the German economy are also the most populated: North Rhine-Westphalia had 17 679 000 inhabitants in 1993, far ahead of Bavaria (11 993 500) and Baden-Wurttemberg (10 693 000).

4) THE MAIN CITIES:

Berlin, the largest city in the country, became again the capital of Germany after the reunification of October 1990. The other main cities of the country are Hamburg, Munich, Bremen, Frankfurt, Essen, Dortmund, Cologne,Stuttgart, Duisburg, Leipzig and Nuremberg.

5) AREA AND RELIEF:

Germany has an area of 356 970 km². Stretching between 47 and 52 degrees north latitude, and between 6 and 14 degrees east longitude, the country offers varied landscapes. But relief, like hydrography, favors fragmentation rather than unity of territory. Germany can be divided into three large natural complexes: the Northern Plain, Middle Hercynian Germany (Mittelgebirge), and the southern and subalpine southern Germany, south of the Danube.

6) CLIMATE:

Germany is subject to a transitional climate, characterized by the clash between oceanic and continental influences. Continentality is increasing towards the east and south-east. When ocean influence prevails, winter rains are abundant, summers are warm and rainy. The continental influence, on the other hand, results in hot summers and cold winters. It is especially marked east of the Elbe but, from January, the Siberian anticyclone also extends to the west of the country.
The eastern part of the northern plain has warmer summers (average 18.2 ° C at Cottbus) and lower annual rainfall (588 mm on average) than the western North Plain with sub-oceanic climate. The precipitation is spread over the whole year: it rises to 740 mm per year in Hamburg, where average temperatures range from 0.3 ° C in January to 17.1 ° C in July.
The oceanic influence, combined with altitude, explains the abundance of rainfall in the Mittelgebirge. The Harz massif, the most watered in Germany, receives an average of 1,678 mm of water per year. In the summer, the Rhine Trench is the warmest and driest region in the country. In Mayence, mean temperatures range from 1.1 ° C in January to 19.2 ° C in July. Average rainfall is 515 mm per year. The coldest region of Germany is Thuringia, which has an average of 80 days of freezing a year. The Bavarian plateau, often swept by the foehn, belongs to the alpine climatic zone (mountain climate).
