I was born in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, quite in the center of Germany. My mother was born in Berlin and my father on the peninsula Reichenau in Lake Constance. My mother's ancestors were mostly from the very North of Germany (mainly North Friesland), those of my father were mostly from the Rhineland and some from Prussia.

My brother and I were both born in the Rineland area, not far from Düsseldorf. On a wider scale, my family comes in part from Franconia, partly from the Eifel region and partly from the Niederrhein area, which is very close to the Netherlands.

Not sure of any of mine, since I am still working in US records.

You might find this of interest, though... Germany and Eastern Europe can be real tricky to research because the political boundaries frequently changed. Finding an exact location is almost critical, in order to find such things as church records regarding your ancestry.
Have fun!
