Conservatism in Germany encompasses a large number of strains of the past three hundred years. Included are the anti-Enlightenment romanticism of Friedrich Nietzsche, the cultural conservatism of Oswald Spengler, the conservative realpolitik and statecraft of Otto von Bismarck, the radical conservatism of the Nazis, and the post-WWII Christian Democratic conservatism of modern Germany.
