That is an interesting question to consider. Naming and Necessity. A landmass known as Germany could have been located somewhere-when else. An alternative interpretation is that apparently 50 million years ago the land that is Germany mostly didn’t exist and was still under water. One might think the Rhine Rift would tear Germany apart in a few million years, yet maybe not.
The Alpine ocean expanded for a while and the Alps were pushing up and arcing Northward. The lowlands north of the Alps surprisingly existed for a very long time. There are a couple of time lapse theoretical reconstructions of the tectonics of the Earth including Europe interesting to watch.
