    Oh lord, where to start CC? Quite a few good suggestions have been put forward but I have added a few of my own. The Germans are a very proud race and with good cause to be. Apart from a few small

No, it is the Austrians who make the cookoo clocks.

Living in Switzerland can actually be fun. When asked if i speak Swiss, or Swedish or whether Swaziland gets hot in the Summer.

No no and i don't know.

Germany, don't know much about it. My brother lives in Munich and that's quite nice. Skating on the frozen river, the beer etc.

And the German people i know are just normal people like you and me. Nothing odd about them at all.

No- de Sachsen...

See, got a sense of humour. Not one of those dark deep Yerman people we know and think.

It must be soul destroying to be called a Swiss person. I know, it happens to me practically every day. But now i have my new Irish passport i can just rise above all that!! It arrived yesterday.

For a very small country, Switzerland can be very racist. I have lived here for 40 years and the animosity between the three parts is rather mind blowing. They may be neutral in war thingys but within their borders they are nasty bastards.

Pawns, no pawns - no vodka, just some white wine.

Take care.

No idea, mate. But like other small German towns I have been in, it's probably very delightful.

Greatest German for me was the station master at Nuenstein ... typical big, jolly guy who took me personally to the local youth hostel and then introduced me to everyone in town (well, it seemed like it). In the three days there, I never had to pay for a thing - friendliest people I have ever met.

This is a place I have been to also. I was on my way to Switzerland to ......... post-227968-0-95647300-1427255604_thumb. Wankdorf in Bern . which is close to a place called...Bumpliz Sadly cant find a sign for that.

I studied at the University of Zürich. Swiss people are officially the 2nd most racist people, with Japanese being number 1.

I consider Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein and the German speaking part of Switzerland to be one since they all share the same cultural values and language, therefore I choose Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was a world class bodybuilder, a world class actor, a world class politician, and is now a living legend.

I would have to nominate Otto von Bismarck.

Actually, I would consider Bismarck to be the greatest German from a German perspective.

For the world, I would say Albert Einstein.

Magnus Hirschfeld

ah, the contrarian post, LOL.

Not at all.

Why would you say that?

err... seriously, who has ever heard of Magnus Hirschfeld?

also, his achievement might be of special interest to you, but for the rest?

there is a list of 200 most well-known Germans here:
