- Germany has one of the lowest youth unemployment rates in Europe. A major factor behind this is its much-lauded apprenticeship scheme, which offers a dual programme of training alongside education for numerous vocations, including carpentry, plumbing, and car mechanics. Foreign EU citizens are also eligible for these apprenticeships and their chances of getting on one are higher than ever due to an excess of places.
2)Many of Germany’s motorways have no speed limit, so you can step on it and put your car to the test. This is a rare treat for speedy US and UK drivers. If you prefer two wheels to four, Germany is also well geared for bicycles with lots of cycle paths - and lots of cyclists.
3)German bakeries are renowned worldwide. Although they don’t quite match French pâtisseries for cakes, bread-wise they offer an unbeatable and delicious range. From healthy seeded loaves to Schwarzbrot (rye bread) to Bretzels, there is more bread than you can shake a baguette at. And there is a plethora of different brötchen (bread rolls) – 1200 varieties according to the Tagesspiegel.
- Bienenstich is a cake. As an exception to my previous rule, there is one German cake to rival the French pâtisseries. Bienenstich or “bee sting cake” is made with sweet yeast dough, filled with a thick layer of cream and topped with a crunchy and buttery honey-almond caramel. This cake alone is a good enough reason to emigrate. Bienenstich won its name because it is said that when it was first made, a bee was drawn to its sweet topping and stung the baker.
