Aber je nach Zusammenhang kannst du durchaus auch \"middle classes\" sagen.

B�rgertum
bourgeoisie
Or middle classes. Bougeoisie is sort of out of date, but might be the right choice, depending on the register you're looking for.

You should be aware of the following points:
1) \"bourgeoisie\" definitely has Marxist connotations (aristocracy / bourgeoisie / proletariat).
2) \"middle class\" doesn\'t correspond very well. Ninety 90% of the population is at least \"middle class\" in the US, for example, but \"bourgeoisie\" is more like \"upper middle class\" (business owners, top corporate officers, etc.)
