This Week: Germany

• The German Autobahn is the oldest motorway network in the world (first section completed in 1932), as well as one of the densest.  It is the only motorway in Europe to have no general speed limit.

  Classical music has been widely dominated by German-speaking composers. A few famous ones born on the present territory of Germany include: Bach, Handel, Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wagner, and R. Strauss. DELAG, (Deutsche Luftschiffahrts-Aktiengesellschaft, translating as “German Airship Transport Corporation“) was the world’s first airline.  It was founded on 16 November, 1909 in Frankfurt.
