German universities have an excellent reputation throughout in the world. They produce significant and internationally applicable advances in research and innovation. Many pioneering inventions were created in Germany. The list of German Nobel Prize winners is long – sixty-eight alone in the field of science and medicine. These include Willheim Conrad Röntgen, Robert Koch, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Christiane Nüsslein-Vorhard and Harald zur Hausen. And Germany isn’t called the “land of poets and thinkers” for nothing. It has produced great philosophers like Kant, Hegel and Adorno, poets like Goethe, Heine and Brecht, and renowned compesers, such as Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.
