Are there any customs that I should pay attention to if I travel to Germany?

There are usually no special customs and taboos to be aware of in Germany, and tourists are more relaxed and can integrate well into the life of the locals. But when it comes to religion, politics, and history, we should be relatively cautious. As a tourist, it is important to consider the local public order and good customs when visiting, especially in religious places such as churches, places where historical events took place, and landmarks.

Hello, Germans have a strong sense of time, if you are invited by a local, please be sure to be on time. Germans prefer a quiet life and are less noisy except for special occasions. In Germany, "13" is taboo, and if the 13th happens to be a Friday, people will be especially cautious.

I just came back from Germany at the end of February, and I feel that most of the Germans are friendly, but I haven't mentioned some sensitive topics such as nazis, so I guess they won't like it very much, but they also have to divide people.

When I was living with a German girl, she knocked directly on the door many times and asked me to clean the bathroom because of my hair. This is really unpleasant, because girls have a lot of hair, so I have to pick up my hair every time I finish it in the kitchen and bathroom. In fact, my German roommate sometimes does not wash his own dishes in time, and often messes up the kitchen, but we Chinese do not like to directly accuse others, and Germans have a more straight personality.

Occasionally, when I take the initiative to buy laundry products or clean up, she will say thank you to me, so it can be regarded as a love and hate. They generally don't interfere with other living habits, and they are still very tolerant, as long as you don't disturb them, otherwise they will come knocking on your door. They don't usually take the initiative to deal with you, if you want to learn a language or something, you still have to take the initiative, most of them are slow burners, and they will be very happy when you find them.

In a word, for them, they must be neither humble nor arrogant. Have fun!

Don't speak loudly in public. Also quiet when eating.
