Etiquettes and Behavior in Germany


Germany - Cologne - Dusseldorf - Frankfurt - Munich - Stuttgart - Hamburg - Berlin
Learn some of the basic etiquettes and behavior codes of Germany while you pack your bags for the vacation! Knowing the customs, traditions and etiquette patterns of the place will help you mix with the locals and prevent you from getting into any kind of unwanted mess or brawl. Here are some tips to make your trip to Germany a real success!
  • Wish Guten Apetit to the others around you before you start your meal! That is sure to gain you appreciation! Also say “Prost” instead of “cheers” when you touch your drinks!

  • Both your hands should be there on the table when you are eating. Do not place your left hand on your lap when you are eating.

  • Leave your shoes outside when you are entering the house of a German acquaintance and also bring a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers to please your host. However, do take care to unwrap the flowers before you finally present them.

  • Address older people by adding a “Sie” before the name and if you are calling a kid, call him “du”.

  • Germans are known for their strict sense of punctuality. Always be on the promised time!

  • Shaking hands is the German way of greeting each other. It is often important to shake hands with each and every individual in the group.

  • Germans are most conscious of their environment. Do not dare to throw garbage as and where you please.

  • If you want to call someone just raise your hand with the palm facing out and only the index finger extended. Waving or shouting is considered to be impolite.

  • Do not hesitate to whisper something confidential to the person sitting beside you. Germans do not consider whispering to be a rude habit.


With these tricks up your sleeves, your stay at Germany will be more than comfortable!
