Germany and Lithuania have little in common if we look at the two countries from a political and economic perspective. One is a heavyweight of the European Union, the other one of its smallest members. And yet there have always been moments when relations between the central European power and the Baltic state were of special significance, years in which history was made, the consequences of which can still be felt in Lithuania to some extent today.
