Erm...no. I really have to disagree here.
If you mean "German" in the sense of "being a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany", then yeah, you could call it 'young' in comparison to other ethnicities, but quite honestly I doubt that anyone anchors their ehtnic origin as "German" in 1949, or 1848. And people considering themselves German started way before that (just think of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation). The definition and the question who being German did or did not include shifted over time along with borders and empires, but the concept is not new.

And I really would disagree with the notion that Germans identify more strongly with their regional ties than with Germany as a whole. Maybe your experiences are different, but I've never met anyone in my entire life for whom that was the case. People with trong regional ties and reginal pride and identification, definitely. But that this feeling of e.g. being Hessian somehow supercedes the notion of being German is a whole new idea to me. On the contrary, I personally think over the past generation or so the importance of regional origin has lessened, actually, and since the 1950s there have been plenty of positive things I would associate "Being German" with. So respectfully, I think that you're making a blanket statement that does not at all hold up to my personal experience.
