Some googling, and I found a reliable-looking page, according to which average adult male height in German is 174.5cm. It would be slightly higher among younger men. Average adult female height 163.5cm. Also found a multitude of unreliable-looking pages selling possibly legal stuff that is supposed to make you grow taller. The internet's wonderful ... Also found out that Arnie's a mere 1.88cm. Always thought of him as _very_ tall, but apparently not. Andreas
