Culture in Germany

Culture develops in everyday life and changes through experiences, migration, education, technological developments, and social debates. History explains how earlier events and political upheavals shape the present. Language enables communication while also preserving regional, family, and social differences. Art creates images, works, and forms of expression that emerge and are displayed in museums, galleries, schools, or public spaces. Religion and non-religious worldviews influence values, celebrations, and communities, without all people being religiously affiliated. Traditions connect families and regions, but are often adapted or redesigned. Stages of life and social life show how people live together in families, schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and public institutions. Region, age, background, personal beliefs, and social circumstances lead to different experiences within Germany.
