Germany isn't really considered Eastern European in a political sense. There are generally two political spheres referred to when analysing Europe (though some are calling for the UK to be counted as a seperate political sphere considering it's unique relationship with the US.) Western Europe includes Germany and Scandinavia as well as Italy, Spain, France and the UK. Eastern Europe is usually referred to the former Soviet sattelite states such as Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland etc. Though the relationship between these former Eastern bloc states is changing with relationship to each other and the Western bloc and the world.
