Jobs in Germany

Berlin. Germany’s capital has a population of 3.5 million people and is home to some of the most riveting historical sites in the country, yet it still has an altogether modern and edgy feel. Berlin is home to Museum Island, the famous Radio Tower, the remains of the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, and more. It is a wonderful city to live and work in Germany. Very international in nature, people come from all over the globe to acquire jobs in Berlin. The workforce in Berlin is considered the most educated in Germany, with the highest number of researchers and “academics” per capita.

Munich. Bavaria’s capital is the cultural center of Germany’s most powerful economic area. It is located in southeast Germany, where the annual Oktoberfest takes place. Munich is known as the artistic and cultural center of Germany, with architecture that is unrivaled anywhere else in the country. Professions that flourish here include automotive and mechanical engineering, tourism, and information technology.

Cologne. This city sits along the Rhine River in Western Germany and offers up beautiful bridges and the Cologne Cathedral. The gothic structure took over 600 years to finish and the detail it includes looks like it would have required each and every day of the time span to achieve its greatness. Cologne is Germany’s most popular tourist destination and the Kölsche, as those born and raised in Cologne are called, are heralded as jovial welcoming people extremely proud of their lovely city. Engineering, technology, and management positions are popular jobs abroad here, but Cologne is literally the bread and butter for expats interested in jobs in Germany in the hospitality industry.

Heidelberg. A city that is endlessly charming, a large castle sits on the hill overlooking its narrow streets, which are filled with fountains and lined by pubs. Heidelberg is one of the few cities that has managed to go relatively untouched by the bombings of WWII, so it is a true historic gem. It is also an academic city with a large student population. The city’s strong suits are medicine and natural sciences, but Heidelberg is also a haven for entrepreneurs and wineries.
