Canyon, Focus etc are all pretty recent.

​​​​​​If you go back 30y or so Italy had Pinarellos and Colnagos and all sorts of cool stuff, France Peugeot of course, and loads of British and Dutch brands making every type of bike.

But when I think of Germany only one name springs to mind from that era: Kalkhoff. Associated with very sturdy upright bikes that were considered well-made but heavy. Either they didn't have much in the way of racing bikes or they kept quiet about it and didn't export them or market them much.
