About Deutscher Michel and this web site Deutscher Michel is a national symbol reflecting the Germans' conception of their own character. Deutscher Michel started out in the 16th century as a sleepy country person. Over time the image and its meaning have changed to represent political opposition, innocent victims and many other aspects of German social life. The image can in some ways be compared to others such as the British John Bull, the American Uncle Sam and the French Marianne. Now Deutscher Michel is portrayed as a sleepy character with a night cap. This web site has articles describing some of the foolish things which German people have to put up with from German businesses, authorities, media and other Germans!
