Abstract	Since 1990, Germany has been a federal state with 16 different regional states. The country is located in Central Europe with a size of 357,386 square kilometers and long borderlines to France and the Netherlands in the West and to Poland and Czech Republic in the East. After WWII Germany was divided into two separate states: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) from 1948 until 1990 and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR) from 1949 until 1990. Today, Berlin is the capital of the country. In education and schooling the 16 German states act independently with federal autonomy in general education and, of course, PE. Education and physical education have been compulsory between grades one and 10 (ages six to 16) in the two Germanys since after WWII. However, another three years of vocational training in a dual-career structure (vocational schools and workplace) is compulsory today for all boys and girls aged 16-18, if they do not attend two (eastern Germany) or three more school years (western Germany) in the general school system with upper forms of secondary schools ("Gymnasium" and "comprehensive schools") to achieve a certificate for university studies.
