Germany And The Church: How Important Is The Christian Religion In Germany Today? | Meet The Germans

Christianity has played a central role in Germany for centuries. This week on Meet the Germans, Rachel digs into Germany's religious history, the differences between the Catholic and Protestant confessions and the presence of the church in public life.

Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every two weeks she explores a new topic – from unusual bans to meaty cuisine or haunted castles.

Note: In an earlier version of the video we incorrectly said that the church tax is 8-9% of your salary. We have taken this out of the video. The church tax is in fact typically 8-9% of your income tax.
