The roots of German culture can be traced back to the ancient Germanic culture. In ancient times, the Germanic people lived in the vast land of northern Europe. They lived in tribes and led a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural life. The Germanic people had a deep reverence for nature. They believed that everything in nature had spirits, and that mountains, rivers, trees, etc. were all endowed with mysterious powers. This respect for nature has profoundly influenced their culture and lifestyle. In their myths and legends, natural spirits occupy an important position.
