Well, the Romans spent quite a long time in Germany, and they gave the
country the name under which the rest of the world knows it - Germania.
There are also quite a lot of German words with latin origins, for
example "Fenster", from the latin for window.

Well, not all of the rest of the world.
They're Nemets for Russian, Poles, etc., Allemandes for French (and

Germans are probably the people known with more different names all
