German

To study German is to study a culture which has been, and still is, a bellwether among western European cultures, a culture with a profound impact for both good and bad far beyond its national borders. Contributions from German cultures have touched virtually all fields of study: the visual arts; science and technology; history, politics or economics; philosophy, psychology, music and religion - many more could be named.
