Germany (German: Deutschland) is a country in Central Europe featured in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Summary

Austria, Germany and United Kingdom are the only European countries to have been exclusively featured in a SCS Software truck simulator game. The country is bordered by Denmark to the north, Poland and the Czech Republic to the east, Austria and Switzerland to the south, and France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands to the west.

Euro Truck Simulator already featured most of Germany's neighbors, including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland (although truckers need to go through France or Netherlands to access Belgium). In Euro Truck Simulator 2, Luxembourg is also featured, but there's no direct connection between Germany and Luxembourg. Upon the release of Euro Truck Simulator 2: Scandinavia DLC, Denmark is also included, and ferry link is available between Germany and Sweden. Because of its central location, the country received significant attention from both players and SCS itself. Germany was the first country to officially receive a map rework without being featured in a DLC[1].

Germany covers an area of 357,021 square km. Tourists love German old towns, castles and beer festivals. Berlin is a capital city and one of the world's most popular places to visit. Germany has 650,000 km of roads, its autobahn network has a total length of 12,917 km.

Rework

Map illustrating the rework program

On May 23, 2018, SCS announced their intention to rework old areas of the base game map, with Germany being the first.

The first phase was released in version 1.32 update. All existing German cities, and some German intercity roads (mostly in northern Germany) were reworked[2]. (As mentioned above, Travemünde was officially released in the next version)

The second phase was released in version 1.35 update[3], and includes mainly the area around Nürnberg (which is itself re-rendered), Erfurt and Kassel. Two new Autobahns were also added, specifically A38 (Kassel to Leipzig) and A71 (A38 to A4).

The third phase (and also the final phase of the Revisiting Germany) was released in version 1.40 update[4]. Dortmund was relocated to the "correct side" of A1 and A45, the area around the cities of Dortmund, Köln, Düsseldorf, and Duisburg was redesigned but a few new intersections and roads were added in the place as well, and Stuttgart was featured a new airport area. The southern part of A7 was also added.
