Arts:
German art has a long and distinguished tradition in the visual arts, from the earliest known work of figurative art to its current output of contemporary art. Germany has only been united into a single state since the 19th century, and defining its borders has been a notoriously difficult and painful process.
Traditions:
Germany has a deep history and has been a major player in Europe’s past. From this stems a culture that is filled with meaningful customs and traditions, celebrated holidays and events, and myths and folktales. Germans take pride in their traditional celebrations whether they are patriotic such as Tag der deutschen Einheit (Day of German Unity), religiously based such as Allerheiligen (All Saints) and Allerseelen (All Souls), well known holidays such as Weihnachten (Christmas) and Ostern (Easter), more personal events such as weddings, birthdays, and funerals, or large public events like the well known Oktoberfest.
