This book combines two stories in a novel way: the often told story of German strength in Europe; and the history of different mutual perceptions and stereotypes in Europe. It starts from the observation of the "German perception trap", a pattern of mutual perceptions since the 19th century: what Germans consider to be their undeniable right, others regard as German ambition for hegemony; which indeed materialised beyond all expectations in the National Socialist war of extermination, reinforcing those perceptions and creating the fear of those fears in post-War Germany.Using Germany as its example, the goal of this book is to explain the discrepancies between self- and external perceptions within Europe. It aims to identify origins, persistence and change as well as the political relevance of stereotypes; and to analyse the interaction of structure, conduct and perceptions.In doing so, the book contributes to research in transnational stereotypes, combines the conceptual approaches of international politics and emotionology and describes Germany's history within Europe from a new perspective. It aims to reveal to European readers why they often fail to understand Germany, and it hopes to explain to German readers why this is the case. In this way, the book goes above and beyond its analytical aspirations to pursue an informative object for a wider audience.

这本书以一种新颖的方式结合了两个故事：经常讲述的德国在欧洲的力量的故事;以及欧洲不同的相互认知和刻板印象的历史。文章首先对“德国感知陷阱”进行了观察，这是自19世纪以来的一种相互感知模式：德国人认为自己不可否认的权利，其他人认为是德国的霸权野心;这确实在国家社会主义灭绝战争中出乎意料地实现了，加强了这些看法，并在战后德国制造了对这些恐惧的恐惧。以德国为例，本书的目的是解释欧洲内部自我认知和外部认知之间的差异。该书旨在确定定型观念的起源、持续性和变化以及政治意义;分析结构、行为和观念之间的相互作用，从而为跨国定型观念的研究作出贡献，将国际政治和情感学的概念方法结合起来，从新的角度描述德国在欧洲的历史。它旨在向欧洲读者揭示为什么他们经常不能理解德国，它希望向德国读者解释为什么会这样。通过这种方式，这本书超越了其分析的愿望，为更广泛的受众追求一个信息对象。
