And I was under the impression that the US has much more economic power than German. Or China with its billion+ people market.
The Euro is the attempt to balance this power with an European currency. The market of the Eurozone is the sum of the countries and Germany is a part of that. Germany alone is relatively small (a market of just 80+ million people - compare that to the US, China, ...).
