Beschreibung

The publisher and author Florian Langenscheidt knows innumerable reasons to love his country, and presents 250 of them in this unique collection. He was supported in the selection process by a jury of well-known German possibilities from the worlds of art, culture, sports, politics, business and media. Whether they be celebrities, buildings or typical German characteristics, whether landscapes, products or major events - Germany is featured in all its diversity and beauty, its grandeur and profundity.

For example, Petra Gerster is writing about Ulrich Wickert, Claudia Schiffer about Karl Lagerfeld, and Stefan Raab about "Bully" Herbig and vice versa.
