Abstract. The relevance of the study has two sides — individual and general. In its
essential aspect, it is the development of achievements of predecessors by consistently taking
into account the latest data on trends and changes in the interconnected spheres of education,
economics and culture. In the individual aspect, it is about improving the professional means
of improving the efficiency of teaching foreign languages in order to form students with a
high level of linguistic-professional competence. Public relevance is the goal of educating
young people in a new patriotic direction, because today, due to various global influences, the
classical principles of life in the agrarian system (in which Ukrainians have a good national
heritage), created in recent centuries, or in the industrial society, are devalued due to various
global influences.The purpose of the study in a broad sense was to highlight the causes and
consequences of the European religious Reformation as the main factor in accelerating the
movement of the whole of Western Europe to the position of the world leader that previously
belonged to China. We see precise tasks in the integrated analysis on the basis of the latest
discoveries of many humanities and exact sciences in the educational, economic and cultural
systems of Germany and other successful European states. On this basis, we hope to fulfill the
public task which is to make significant proposals in the plans and practice of higher
education reform in Ukraine. The methodology of the study relies on the best classical
means, on the principle of historicism and the continuity of the connection between the
material and the ideal, a modern multidisciplinary approach. For the highest effectiveness of
the research, we will use the latest scientific data and recommendations of the innovators who
collect and use these data. The results of the study mostly follow from the mentioned new
discoveries. They testify that in ancientt history, in the role of locomotives of civilizational
progress in the western part of Eurasia, direct descendants of the inventors of agriculture
acted, among which the especially great contribution (domestication of the horse, the
invention of the wheel and the efficient metallurgy of copper) belongs to the ancestors of
Ukrainians from the territories of Trypillya and the Great Trypillya. It is indicated that
during the existence of the Great Trypillya, future German farmers acquainted themselves with the
technologies of the Great Trypillya, so the German language, through borrowed words,
became part of the Indo-European family. It is noted that after the collapse of the Great
Trypillya, the Germans and Slavs became neighbors along the meridian Elbe. In the age of
steppe invasions, future Ukrainians and Germanic tribes did not get in contact, and the
influence of the Roman Empire was mostly experienced by western lands. Emphasis was
placed on the evolution of ideological, religious and other paradigms in the territory of
Germany after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, which determined the development of
the nation for the next hundreds of years. The religious and philosophical paradigmatic
origins of those unique features of culture and education that during the nineteenth century
were emphasized. brought Germany to the position of the scientific and technological leader
of the world. The high role of German neo-humanism and the Berlin Research University
were noted. In the final section, special attention is paid to religious issues and to the
destructive impact on social and other processes in the German immigration flows of
Islamists. The conclusions focus on the competition of several important paradigms in the
education of modern Germany and the proposals made to incorporate German experience in
legislation and the use of the Bologna process. An important caution is made regarding the
choice of Germany's strategy for the development of the scientific and educational complex
'within the framework of the Lisbon project (2000). This country has become a world leader
not only in alternative energy, but also in the implementation of the fourth industrial
revolution. We consider an example of this leadership like the regular world conferences in
Davos, which involve the majority of influential politicians and economists (in particular,
from Ukraine)
