I'm doing a Mood Board for Food Technology, and I need ideas which signifies Germany. I've already done Apple Strudel, Gingerbread, Bavaria, Berlin, the Flag of Germany but I need lots more! It can be anything, as long as it's about Germany.

How about any famous, easily recognisable German people? Only person I think of is Natalie Horler from Cascada.

Hello,
I am in Germany...more ideas:
Important German Renaissance painters:
Albrecht Altdorfer
Lucas Cranach the Elder,
Matthias Grünewald,
Hans Holbein the Younger and
Albrecht Dürer.
Important Baroque artists from Germany:
Cosmas Damian Asam
Peter Paul Rubens.
Caspar David Friedrich
surrealist Max Ernst
the conceptualist Joseph Beuys or
the neo-expressionist Georg Baselitz.
Lake Konstance is Germany’s largest lake and is shared with Switzerland and Austria
Elegant big-city charm, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer are all there for the savouring.
Food:
When some people think of German food they think about sausages, sauerkraut, and of course beer.
Othe food that is well known are:
Spätzle (Egg noodles)
Kartoffelsalat (potato salad)
Sachertorte (chocolate apricot cake)
Gulaschsuppe (goulash soup)
Zwiebelkuchen (onion pie)
Bretzeln (pretzels)

You could show a beer stein..a wine bottle (Germany is one of the largest producers of wines and has the most beautiful vinyards)....pictures of both a Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen bug...a cukoo clock...the Nueschwanstein castle(which we all recognize because that's what the Disney castles-both at Disney World and Disney Land-are modeled after).... the Alps along with the Olympic symbol (Alpine skiing first began there in 1936 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen)...the German bands and dancers in their traditional dress....a picture of a soccer ball, etc. Good luck and hope this helps a little.------ I just saw that you are also asking for easily recognizable people, so what about Ann Frank (victim of the Holocaust and her diary became a famous book)...Henry Kissinnger....Claudia Schiffer....Katerina Witt (she won two Olympic gold medals for figure-skating)...and Nastassja Kinski (actress).

Hello, I'm from Germany!
Someone has written Mozart was from Germany, but that's wrong. He was an Austrian. But there are a number of famous musicians (Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel,...). You can also do Angela Merkel (the Bundeskanzlerin), Schweinebraten (I think it's roast pork in English), the FC Bayern München (a famous soccer club), beer, poets like Goethe and Schiller, the Oktoberfest and sauerkraut. Famous cities are Berlin, München (Munich), Hamburg, Bremen, Garmisch-Partenkirchen (this is where is ski jumping every year on January 1st). Maybe you know Neuschwanstein Castle? It's very famous and really beautiful.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich Heine, Thomas Mann. Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Sebastian Bach. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Karl Lagerfeld and Claudia Schiffer. Cities like Cologne (Köln), Hamburg and Munich (München).
A winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Willy Brandt. A peaceful revolution, followed by the reunification. A woman as head of the government, Angela Merkel (though formally, the head of state is still a man, Horst Köhler).
German engineering, especially as far as cars go - Audi, BMW, Mercedes. The quaint and lovely suspension railway (Schwebebahn) in Wuppertal. Music by Nena and Kraftwerk and Rammstein, which you probably know, and by Wir sind Helden and Sportfreunde Stiller and Element fo Crime, which you should try listening to because they are great. Films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Wim Wenders, Tom Tykwer and Fatih Akin.
Hope this helps!
