Uniform Europevariety of the nations and cultures lives on that. To symbolize appropriately financial politicians and Münzexperten in the sense had this connection, when they tackled the organization of the national German euro-coins. It depended if possible on it, with the new moneyto manufacture high measure of confidenceness and solidarity to the well-known motives with Marks and Pfennig. “The German euro-coins point 1 starting from that. January 2002 with the 1, 2 and 5 cent coins oak leaves up. On the back of the 10, 20and 50 cent coins is breaking citizen the gate and at the two euro-values in bimetal is the federal eagle to be found.

Oak leaves for the smallest coins under the “German” Euros were selected a familiar symbol: Oak leaves, already thatGerman Pfennig zierte. The motive originates from a draft of the Karlsruher of professor Rolf leather elbow. Oak leaves - a symbol with history: In the German federation of 1815 still all had its members the tariff and also the Münzhoheit. The German tariff agreementand the Münzeinigung went hand in hand. The symbol strength of the oak tree for the German coins to use, decreases/goes back to the resident of Munich Münzvertrag of 1837. The present agreement made Germany a uniform economic area.

Breaking citizens the gate breaking citizens the gate,in the klassizistischem style by Carl God hard long Hans delighted and with a Quadriga crowned remarkable building, is a landmark of the German capital Berlin. This building reflects German history. In the German Reich it was used for parades. After the Second World Warbecame breaking citizen the gate the symbol of the division of Germany. When in November 1989 the wall fell, the Germans from east and west at the breaking citizen gate met. Since then opened breaking citizen stands the gate for a united Germany and is at the same timea symbol for the European agreement process. The motive was sketched to Heinsdorff, by the artist pure-hard Fiedberg.

The federal eagle it hangs in the plenary assembly hall of the German federal daily. At the gates of the German messages it marks German policy. We find it in our passportsand documents of identification as graphic symbol, as authority stamps and also as political caricature. The federal eagle is since the year 1950 the state coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Germany. Thus in almost identical form the coat of arms of the Weimar Republic was taken over of 1919. The eaglewas also the coat of arms of the German Reich of 1871. The draft originates from Sneschana Russewa Hoyer and Heinz Hoyer from Berlin.

The Design the 1, 2, 5 cent and the 1 - and 2-Euro-Stücke reminds strongly of the motives of the old DM coins. This hasparticularly in the transitional phase led to controversies, since possibly old and new coins could be confounded.

All Designs contain the 12 stars which the embossing place of the European Union, the embossing year and a letter, designation (see table).
