yea, I'm afraid I'm not adding much to the discussion. In the end, it doesn't matter if Germany really is like this - the idea of an orderly country still exists.
I beg to differ, counterpoints are always useful. I have an outsiders view of Germany. I've seen large chunks of it. Even stopped for a month or two (Munich, Berlin). But I don't speak German, or at least not enough to be useful (Mein Deutsch ist nicht gut). I visit a park once or twice, not with a group that you get to know.
My lack of German may well have changed the interaction I mentioned.
Just for the record, I am not part of the dog owners group :)
I don't think it's nice to let a dog roam in the park, kids get scared, and things can go wrong.

You can get along famously in Germany knowing only the following 3 phrases:
1. Ein Bier bitte
2. Noch ein Bier bitte
3. Wo ist der W.C.
