The world wouldn’t be the same without specific innovations throughout the history of mankind. When thinking of the most valuable innovations until now everybody would instinctively say the car. This and many more helpful inventions were invented by German scientists. The purpose of this paper is to find out what these creations are and why there is such a huge number of them originally coming from Germany. Furthermore another aim of this paper is to get insight into the future obstacles that may occur for Germany regarding innovation. The survey includes 152 respondents attending the American College of Management and Technology in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The study found out that German products are among the best on the market because they are leading in quality. The respondents perceived that Germany plays such an important role in the history of innovation, based on the fact that Germany has a good economic infrastructure as well as a very well-developed educational system with a huge number of prominent research institutes.
