According to itypeusa, Germany is a Western European country with a population of over 82 million people. It is the largest country in the European Union, and has the fifth-largest economy in the world. Germany is bordered by nine countries, including France, Poland, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. The capital of Germany is Berlin. German is the official language spoken in Germany, but English and French are also widely spoken. Germany’s economy is highly developed and highly industrialized. The main industries include automotive manufacturing, chemicals production, mining and engineering. Germany is known for its high quality products such as cars from BMW and Mercedes-Benz; beer from breweries like Beck’s; electronics from companies like Siemens; chocolates from companies like Lindt; and much more. Germany also produces many high-quality wines from regions such as Rheingau and Moselle Valley. In addition to its industrial production, Germany has a strong agricultural sector that produces wheat, barley, potatoes, sugar beets and other crops. Tourism also plays an important role in Germany’s economy with millions of visitors each year drawn to attractions such as Cologne Cathedral or Neuschwanstein Castle. Germany is a country located in Western Europe and it follows the same time as its neighbors France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. This time zone is known as the Central European Time Zone (CET) and it is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This means that when it is 12:00 UTC, it is 13:00 CET in Germany. During Daylight Savings Time (DST), however, Germany does observe CET like its neighbors do but rather stays on UTC+2. This means that from the end of March to the end of October each year, while its neighbors are two hours ahead of UTC, Germany remains one hour ahead. The capital city of Berlin observes CET all year round; however, other parts of the country may observe different times due to their geographical location. The provinces in the east such as Saxony may choose to observe Poland’s time zone instead of CET. In addition, some areas near the border with Austria may choose to follow Austria’s time zone instead of CET as well. Overall though, most parts of Germany can be expected to follow Central European Time Zone throughout most or all of the year. As such, when traveling to Germany it is important to remember that you will need to adjust your watch by one hour compared to most other countries in Central Europe which are on either UTC or UTC+1 depending on whether they observe Daylight Savings Time or not.
