Will the sick man of Europe' label stick to Germany this time around?
Briefly

Germany has a history of economic problems breeding political extremism but talk of a return to the Weimar Republic is wildly overblown. The economy is flatlining, not collapsing. There is nothing to match the hyperinflation of 1923 or the mass unemployment of the early 1930s.
As in many other European countries, immigration is a toxic political issue. Last time, the sick man of Europe label didn't stick. Germany bounced back from its problems and quickly re-established itself as Europe's powerhouse economy.
