Germany Is Draining The Rest Of Europe's Talent - Why That's A Good Thing - At the Sankt Oberholz café, Germany’s future lies in the balance. Here, in Berlin’s “trendy” Mitte district, an international crowd of entrepreneurial 20 and 30-somethings meet. They make up two camps. On one side, you have those who prefer to speak English as they discuss their new projects and business plans. On the other side, you have the Italians – the Oberholz has become the meeting place for the Italian start-up scene in Berlin. The Italians have come to the German capital because there’s more creative freedom here than in Italy, where bureaucracy hinders new ventures and the recession takes care of the rest.
