It's all about home ownership. Southern Europeans tend to own their houses, so the property value is part of their net worth. Doesn't necessarily mean that they have more cash in the bank, although I'm sure the savings add up over a few generations if managed shrewdly. Germans tend to rent more.
On top of that, real wages in Germany practically haven't risen since the early 1990s and the fall of the Soviet Union. I guess since the looming threat of an alternative economic and political system was removed, there was no need to share the spoils with the common people anymore. Wages are kept artificially low to make German exports more competitive and give German industry an advantage. Furthermore, HCE is absolutely right with what he wrote about the way Germany benefits from the EU common market and especially the Euro as their artificially undervalued currency. The German economy is cannibalizing the rest of Europe, de-industrializing smaller and weaker countries by undercutting domestic competition and capturing the market for German products, in the process destroying local jobs and value chains, and causing a brain drain in the periphery, attracting young people who have no prospects in the now decimated economies of their home countries. However, the average German does not get to participate in these tremendous profits, which are reserved for the rich elites and the shareholders of German mega-corporations. Germany also has a surprisingly large underclass, mostly unemployed, who basically own nothing and live in government-subsidized pods, as well as a large percentage of migrants who don't really contribute much and need to be bribed with welfare money so they don't cause too much trouble.
Germany is basically a carefully managed beehive that produces a prodigious amount of honey, the average worker bee, however, doesn't have much to its name and is just a small cog fulfilling its purpose in a big machine. They are raised to be content with that lot and not ask too many questions (such as "Hey, where is all the honey going?"). There's a reason why Germany and Japan have always gotten along so well.
Well explained. Except that Germany doesn't profit. Germany is the production house, milking cow of the beehive called Europe.
The honey doesn't got to the German workers as you say. The honey goes to the immense bureaucracy which is there to feed and protect internationalism (largest EU and UN sponsor), the owners of the companies (mostly non-Germans), Jews and migrants and jobless.
Also indirectly it is spread, the euro is diluted with large money creation in southern Europe. In reality the people in Southern Europe gain a stronger currency and can buy more for their euro than they could for their Italian Lira. Germany though can buy less, The Deutsche Mark would have much more stability and buying power than the current euro. A cheap currency is not an advantage, as it creates a poorer population.

We see here how Germans have gone relatively poorer since 2000.
The German social and cultural construct is that of worker bees. No complaining, grind on, strong acceptance of hierarchy, mourn the holocaust, high taxes, their ancestors killed and defames. Large floods of roaming migrants, queen bee women in power under Jewish control are getting men frustrated and humiliated. When you got to the larger cities you will find many homeless on the streets, addiction problems, mostly white German population, estimated 100.000s.
Germany has a spiritual sickness, Germans have lost their masculinity, their religion, their architecture (Modern Berlin is a brutalist disaster) and are a home for thieving killer bees from other countries who come there for free honey.
I think Germany is a great example for the internationalists as the ideal country. A large bureaucracy, a large underclass on welfare and social programs which together will always vote for larger government and a smaller but large depressed class of worker bees grinding on.
In my opinion, the German men are the saddest men of Europe.
