I can't even remember the last time I saw anything that said "Made in Germany", apart from beer. I guess I'm not in the market for tanks or BMWs, but still

Home appliances, pharmaceuticals and quite a few things related to engineering really, be that cars parts or something else entirely line tools or screws.

But the most stuff is B2B so you don't get into contact much

My vacuum cleaner is made in Germany. Super happy with it after one year. I also have a pretty sturdy German kitchen knife.

Pretty sure some of my power tools are also German, but that's bought more on the basis of what I could find in flea markets than where it was produced.

I got some Adidas stuff but those are definitely made somewhere in SE Asia. I thought Sennheiser might be one, but looks like their main factory is in Ireland, of all places.
