Why physics classes at German universities should be held in English

While many influential physics books and articles were written in German prior to World War II, English has become the lingua franca of science. Nowadays, the majority of journal articles are published in English, physics conferences are held in English language, and a significant portion of renowned scientists are based in the United States and the United Kingdom. Consequently, English is the language used by scientists with different backgrounds when talking about research projects, teaching approaches or other topics. Due to the ever-growing importance of English as the global language, it certainly makes sense that nowadays, in countries such as Germany, kids start learning English as their first foreign language already in elementary school or even during their time in kindergarten.
