I've been many times to Germany and travelled to all over the country. I even lived in the country one semester as an exchange student, but I'm still learning new things about German culture. There are 3,200 different registered bread varieties in Germany and the German bread culture was recognised by UNESCO as a intangible cultural heritage in 2014. When I was a student I only ate cereals for breakfast, so I didn't really get a chance to try German bread. As a tourist I would eat in cafés for breakfast, so once again I hardly ever got a chance to try the local varieties of bread —although I did develop a good knowledge of German cakes and pies. Watching the video below really made me want to go back to Germany just to try the various kinds of bread. 
Like in many European countries the training to become a baker takes several years but it may actually be longer in Germany than in most countries. It takes 3 years to get a basic certificate to work as a baker in an existing bakery. After 3 to 5 years of work experience a baker can take an additional 2-year course to get a master's degree that will allow them to open their own bakery. In comparison there is usually no qualification required to work in American bakeries, where many bakers start by working as apprentices or in entry-level positions in bakeries, where they receive hands-on training from experienced professionals.
