Germany's social security system

Hi,

This government website: bmg.bund.de, provides basic but, IMHO understandable and useful information about Germany's social security system. The information is available in English and also some other languages: Spanish, Italian, Turkish and French; and German of course.

I already searched TT for this kind of information in the past, but never came across something similar, so I thought I could share it here.

Hope this will help some of you!
