Well, it wasn't technically called Germany back then. I'm not too good on history from the middle ages, but when I typed "Germany in the middle ages" (include the quotes) into dogpile.com (my most-used search engine), it came up with a bunch of stuff.

Try these links, and from there you can get ideas of other book subjects to look under:

Or, even better yet, try this link. The guy teaches about Germany in the middle ages, and he has written books on it, which are listed on the page:

Hope this helps!
