The aim of this paper is to overview recent geographical studies in Germany. Traditionally, German geographers have achieved significant results from research and theoretical studies. In particular, regional geographical studies have produced important results. After 1970, geography in Germany changed due to the influence of globalization and generational change. German geographical studies began to interact closely with English and American geographical studies. There were several remarkable tendencies. The first was the argument for new regional geographical studies and a system of geography. The second was studies of localities and provinces, as proposed by Schöller. The third was social geography, which places emphasis on human behavior. According to lists of major geographical journals in Germany, there is a good balance between physical geography and human geography. Ecological studies and social geography are popular in German geography. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of English-language articles in Geographical journals. German geographers aggressively contribute papers in English to communicate the outcomes of their research. German geographers have also promoted education on geography, and several plans have been proposed for environmental studies. Education on geography has contributed to a strengthening of education for sustainable development (ESD), which is encouraged by UNESCO. The status of geography continues to improve in Germany; however, it is not a major subject in German education. German geographers have improved education on geography in schools and Universities. Many personal interactions between Japanese and Germany geographers are continuing, and geographers from both countries have organized the Japanese-German Geographical Conference.
