Germany

The Federal Republic of Germany in Central Europe with its capital Berlin was formed in its current form through the reunification with the GDR, which was founded in 1949, in 1990. It covers 357,588 km² and is divided into 16 federal states. Starting clockwise in the north, Germany borders the nine states of Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as the North Sea and Baltic Sea in the north. Almost two thirds of the vineyards are located in the south-west of the state in the valleys of the Rhine and Moselle rivers and their tributaries. The federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate is home to 6 of the 13 growing regions. The rest are in the south.
