There is a cultural aspect too. In my experience of a number of nights out with my German colleagues in Germany talking about Brexit, many Germans feel that we are their natural kin in Europe. We are roughly similar in population, economy size and culture. There are differences of course but Germans are certainly amongst our closest 'relatives' in the EU.
