I think the most interesting part is Germany and Switzerland not being part of the West Europe. Anytime someone uses the term Central Europe, it seems to me just trying to be not considered Eastern Europe.
Interesting, probably a Czech thing then. We like to pretend we are part of the Western Europe, or at least Central Europe (as opposed to the uncivilized east). You often even get maps of Western Europe like this:
Well, Czech Rep is the most westernized Slavic country since centuries under Austrian rule, but if you look at the name itself, Austria or Osterreich means “eastern realm” lol.
As an American, this is what I thought was Western Europe. Though it’s never been formally defined for me now that I think about it. Glad to learn something new.

According to most maps, this is Central Europe:

I would say Iberia and Italy are southern Europe and Scandinavia is northern Europe
I’m German myself and I consider myself a central European and a western European alike. If I had to choose I’d go with central European.
Honestly it feels like it depends on the region mostly. Brandenburg? Definitely Central Europe. Essen? Definitely Western Europe.
