Where it is
Germany is grouped in Western Europe, within Roam’s Europe region. Its land-border list includes 9 countries in this atlas: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Germany has a recorded area of 357,114 square kilometres. Among the 8 countries assigned to Western Europe in this dataset, it ranks 2 by area, from largest to smallest. France is immediately above it in that ordering, at 543,908 km². Netherlands is immediately below it, at 41,865 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 83,491,249 people for Germany in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 234 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are German. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Euro (EUR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
