You are wrong about the anthem. you can sing the first two verses, it isnt forbidden.This is a common misconceptions among Germans about our anthem.
I'm half German my dads german
Wegen diesen quiet ours : man darf auch den ganzen Sonntag nicht den Rasen mähen
Do NOT (suddenly) stop in the middle of the ****ing way ! - We hate that :D but some germans do it too :(
disrespecting the quiet hours?
RUHESTÖRUNG, ANZEIGE IST RAUS.
Nice😂
Die Ruhezeit von 13 bis 15 Uhr ist besonders heilig so wie der ganze Sonntag.
I grew up in the US with quiet hours. Where I live now it's loud until around 3 or 4 am on any given day.
I MISS QUIET HOURS. I'M SO GROUCHY.
Nach dem Kommentar hab ich gesucht 😂😍
@@femus7817 in der Stadt weniger, da ists eh laut, aufm Land aber ja. Jeeeeden Tag von 12/13-15Uhr xD
Die Zeiten sind aber nicht per Gesetz festgeschrieben, nur in manchen Kommunen oder Kurorten.
In Germany we don't say "Goodbye", wir klatschen auf die Oberschenkel mit einem lauten "Sooooooo" und bleiben noch eine Stunde länger.
Und wenn dann gehsch sagsch sodele
Jiaaaaa 😂😂😂
Alter ich hab lange keinen Kommentar mehr so gefühlt
Kenn ich wenn es langsam langweilig wird un man eigentlich gern fragen wurde ob man noch was anderes unternimmt und man abhauen kann
Ganz ehrlich das stimmt sowas von und es ist richtig unangenehm 😂😂😂
My dad was working in Germany for some years and when I visited he said that if you are browsing in a shop it’s very important to say thank you to the staff when leaving, even if you haven’t bought anything. I still do that to this day whatever country I’m in.
We do it in Iran too
as a german, thanking the staff without purchasing anything doesn't sound necessary to me. saying goodbye or wishing them a good rest of the day is always a good thing to do i reckon, but consider thanking them only when buying something
I am from Austria and I always say "thanks", when I leave the store without buying anything.
Oh... so etwas ist für uns total normal!😉 Aber sehr interessant, dass Du das erwähnst! 👍
Nen schönen Tag wünschen ok, aber mich dafür bedanken, dass ich das überteuerte Zeug kaufen muss und dazu beitragen deren Jobs zu sichern? Wieso?
To sing the full version of the "Deutschlandlied" is not forbidden. But only the third verse is the national Anthem. So you can sing everything of that song without getting into trouble
It's forbidden to sing the two very first verses
@@joergbandt8801 No, its not forbidden. Not in Germany.
@@joergbandt8801 Bist du Deutscher?
Die Verse sind nicht verboten. Sie gehören nur nicht zur Nationalhymne. Du darfst sie aber problemlos singen.
@@joergbandt8801 Im März 1990 gab es dazu ein Urteil. Die ersten beiden Strophen sind Kunstfreiheit und somit nicht verboten.
Niemals über eine Straße oder eine rote Ampel gehen wenn ein Kind in der Nähe ist. Du kannst es abschätzen, das Kind aber nicht.
Ja, das ist auch sehr wichtig
Das ist recht.
Pkt 16... Niemals heißt ja niemals
I was about to say that haha!
Sigrid Frings Jeder läuft über rote Ampeln, wenn keine Kinder in der Nähe und die Straßen leer sind. Wenn Kinder in der Nähe sind, hält man sich an die Regeln, man möchte ja kein schlechtes Vorbild sein. Ich habe das als Kind mitbekommen, das sieht man eben, wenn man in einem Auto mit verdunkelten Fensterscheiben vorbeifährt.
Trotzdem: Lauft nicht über rote Ampeln oder einfach so über die Straße! Es ist gefährlich! Wenn man angefahren wird, hat der Fahrer keine Schuld, du bist verletzt und musst dann auch noch Strafe zahlen. Das lohnt sich nicht.

Ich finde das Video absolut spitze! Da wird uns Deutschen auch irgendwie so der Spiegel vorgehalten, dass man selber über sich lachen muss. Kleine Anmerkung zu den Geburtstagsglückwünschen: Vorher Gratulieren ist nicht gut, wenn man den Geburtstag aber vergessen hat, ist es OK danach zu gratulieren. Man sagt, dann : "Alles Gute nachträglich!" Gar nichts zu sagen wäre sogar etwas unhöflich glaube ich.
Dank Whatsapp usw. kann man heutzutage keine Bday mehr vergessen. Aber da mir mein Geburtstag mittlerweile gar nicht mehr wichtig ist, vergesse ich die von anderen häufig.
Especially for late Christmas wishes in the midst of January it is appropriate to add „It's still valid, isn't it?“
The “quiet hours” are a real thing, especially in smaller towns. I was at a small bar in Germany one evening in the middle of the summer. Even though the heat was stifling (AC is almost non-existent in many places) the bar could not open it’s windows because it was located near/ not far from houses where people lived (and need to sleep).

@Anna Cattaneo Was denn? Ist ein Meme unter jedem Video über Deutschland was nicht von Deutschen ist.
@Anna Cattaneo Findest du? Warum?
@Anna Cattaneo aber war der Spruch nicht "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" ich denke, mit dem Kommentarbereich ist das noch zu verkraften, aber das muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden.
This made me laugh way to hard (ps:German here)
Haha lol 😂
The Mittagsruhe ( be quiet at lunchtime) is also very important in Germany. There are exceptions to this rule/ law but basically all your neighbors that can hear your noise during lunchtime have to agree to it. When I was 18 and had my first German apartment, I got an official roster of all the neighbors that agreed to allow me, the new neighbor to make noise during lunchtime, at least during my move in time. So about a week, I had the permission to be loud during lunchtime. At the time I thought it was a weird but nice gesture. After living in Germany for a while, I really appreciate that one my neighbors went totally out of his way to accommodate me, the new guy in the neighborhood.
Stimmt nicht, eine Mittagsruhe gibt es nicht mehr. Frag mal die Bauarbeiter hier gegenüber!!
@@xatmo8467 Das war 1986. Mittagsruhe war damals wichtig.
@@xatmo8467natürlich gibt es die Mittagsruhe noch, sie ist nur nicht gesetzlich durchsetzbar und somit drohen keine Strafen im Prinzip können aber Städte eine Mittagsruhe einführen auch in der Hausordnung kann eine Mittagsruhe verlangt werden
Grew up Asian in America. It used to be very awkward to ask people to take their shoes off in the house, but over the years, it has become less of a big deal to people. I think people are more culturally sensitive now. Also, it keeps the house clean. We had an American neighbor who converted. She changed the carpets and realized the best thing to keep them clean was to stop wearing shoes in the house so she started doing it too.
It seems Americans started adapting the "no shoes inside" rule around the turn of the 21st century, since I don't remember anyone doing it much before then (having grown up in the 80s/90s). I wonder if the rising popularity of anime and, by extention, Japanese culture didn't contribute to that change of consciousness. Just a thought. It honestly makes more sense, and most Americans I know take their shoes off inside.
Bruv what, just don't dirty someones house its not a japanese thing
@@gravital2257I'm not saying it's a "Japanese thing". I'm saying it wasn't widely practiced in the US until after the turn of the 21st century, which coincided with anime's massive growing in popularity, so I'm curious if there's a connection.
@@SunnysFilms
Maybe this is odd to me because my Dad is a clean freak, so it was always "take your shoes off."
I am 39, so I grew up in the 80s and 90s too.
That’s so fantastic my lady I see you realize there’s not so much difference in our cultures. Welcome 🙏🏻
in germany we don’t say “ouch” when we slip and fall on the ice. we say “Ab 7 Uhr besteht Räum- und Streupflicht, ich werde Sie verklagen!” and i think that’s beautiful.

I have a pen pal from Germany. We have been writing to each other for over 30 years. I got to meet her when we traveled to Europe to see our daughter and son-in-law who were living in Vienna, Austria. I enjoyed this video and was glad to know about the birthday thing since my German friend and I wish our family members Happy Birthday. We always take off our shoes when entering our house and did so when we visited my friend at her house in Germany. I’m so glad we didn’t make that mistake by wearing our shoes in her house. Since I still communicate with my German friend quite often I like to learn cultural things so as to not offend her or her family. Your videos help a lot. Thanks!

Well I´m from germany (Niedersachsen;Hannover) and everytime I visit smone or smone visits me I take off my shoes, but we normally always have some kind of shoes to wear at home but you only wear them inside the house so they aren´t dirty. I also liked your video very much! It´s cool to see so many American/or other people beeing interested in German things
When in Germany always put your "Warentrenner" on the "Kassenband"!!!

Thank you for the informative video to you both.

Love all your videos.

Great list!! After being stationed in Germany for 19 years, it becomes second nature to adhere to the culture and remember many of these DON'TS. One that took me a while to learn was the right turn on red when driving. I will say that the left lane on the Autobahn is one I desperately wish we had here in the states. LOL!!
😊
So, can you turn right on red or not, in Germany?
@Birdylockso The way it was when I was there is that if the light is red. Noone moves until the light is green. If you happen to have a green arrow to the right, you may proceed, otherwise no movement at the red light.
@@jdrock9623 Thanks for the tip!
I have found all this to be true as well. The bike path thing is crazy in some places because the pedestrian walk is so narrow Also the small talk is spot on. I usually let the German folks speak to me first unless I have a question then I have found it ok to engage with folks.

Ich kann nicht glauben, dass wir den Leuten immer noch sagen müssen, dass sie den Nazi-Gruß nicht machen sollen 😣
Das liegt daran, dass 90% der amerikanischen Filme, die in Deutschland spielen WW2 Filme sind, in den Schulen aber nicht beigebracht wird, dass solche Zeichen heute bei uns verboten sind.
Kein Wunder, es werden im Ausland so viele Witze über diese Zeit gemacht, das die bestimmt denken, dass das in Deutschland auch ne Sache ist 🤷 so hab ich es erlebt
Ist so ne typisch deutsche Paranoia. In den USA haben sie ihren Vietnam-Krieg, wir hier die Nazi-Vergangenheit.
Ist trotz des Weltkrieges eher eine regionale Sache.

Interesting, I love the don'ts. I grew up in a German culture here in South Africa. The taking off of shoes before entering the house isn't something I grew up with because South Africa is quite warm and we don't get a lot of rain. Most houses have tiles also and the "welcome" mat before the door is for wiping off your shoes so you don't drag in dirt on the tiles. And water is mostly free here. Yes we pay a minimal amount for municipal water, but mostly it's safe and delicious to drink straight from the tap. And most restaurants serve tap water for free also. But mineral water you have to pay for.
In the Netherlands it's not common to take off your shoes entering a house. It only happened to me once when I was a kid at my friend's house but his parents had very expensive floor carpet.

I live in northern Utah in the USA, and I only know seriously 3 or 4 people who don't have a rule to take off shoes in the house. Taking off shoes is quite a very common thing here at least.
9:14 there are certain shops in America that do the same thing like in Germany (ALDI included) because people tend to leave shopping carts around at random areas or spots and sometimes may get stolen if you're not paying attention enough or leave your cart out long enough when in another area.
I can’t believe that some people don’t take off their shoes before stepping into their flat/home, imagine all of the dirt you stepped on all day. 🤢
It is not dirty, because we don´t put our street shoes on in our house, so the flat is clean. In Germany we are scared, that we have on our street shoes some dog shit, so we take our shoes of. We are also cleaning all rooms often.

Bus drivers have a fun sense of humour in Germany. One time I got a bus from Basel to Frankfurt, and we were 2 hours late because of traffic. It was late November, so dark and cold too. The bus driver decided to annoy all the Americans and Canadians by playing nothing but Nickelback's Greatest Hits (I'm British, so I was cool with it LOL) and they then took the mickey and said "I would normally pull over here and let you all grab a McDonald's but we're 2 hours late, and I have a party to get to so I want to get you to Frankfurt Hbf ASAP - that ended up being 2 hours later. "
Regarding the shoes in the house question: I think that this is a relatively new rule. When I was a child, you would walk on your socks just in your own (or good friends) flat, whereas mere visitors would not be expected to take their shoes off (so as not to bother them). Only in more recent times this visitors' privilege has more or less been abolished.

I had a hard time with the bike path thing (forgetting) and felt terrible about it!! Also, in the markets or on the street, why do people just stop right where they are in the middle of the walking path - I found that startling. My daughter (been in Germany nearly 3 years now) shook her head when I wanted to move out of the walkway if I needed to pause. People don't seem to do that. I also learned the birthday rule thing because I was there for her birthday. So interesting to learn all these things!
I met someone online who thought we are all having Mercedess, because he thought German stuff is cheap in Germany. Oh boy he was so wrong ... he learned it the hard way after he moved to Germany xDDD

The American YARD is typically NOT a garden. It's a large open space with grass where people usually put outdoor seating and some type of awning. It's where children can run around and play.
The UK has actual gardens. They plant different flowers and regularly tend to them.

Thank you for this video guys. My wife and I are going to visit Germany in about a month and finding the do's and don't s. I don't want to create a massive international crisis after all of full out war.
Thanks a lot guys for this video. I'm planning to immigrate to Germany started learning German. This video gave me some new informations about Germany. Keep doing more informative vedios like this .
You forgot one thing. NEVER EVER be late for anything in Germany haha. Always be there at least 10- 15 Minutes before.
Gegen diesen Fakt bin ich immer, weil egal wo ich hingehe oder mit wem ich mich treffe alle sind zu spät und die "Veranstaltungen" fangen immer zu spät an haha die einzigen Personen, die immer pünktlich sein müssen sind die Väter (zumindest in meiner Umgebung). KA aber bei mir hat dieser Fact definitiv noch NIE gestimmt 😂
As a Brit, I've been there 10-15 mins early. Had German friends be there 15 mins late. Arrrgghhh!!!
@@iandaysh3193 yeah I'm german and I don't agree with that fact either. Everyone around me comes late sometimes, I think it's the same than in other countries
I'd say being 5 Minutes earlier or arriving just in time is totally sufficient. That also depends on what the appointment is about, how serious it is and where it is (inside or outside). I'd say if you're meeting a friend, being 10 minutes too late without a call is not a big thing for most people.
Why?!?
The Nazi salute is not "kind of a forbidden thing", it is strictly forbidden! You might get up to 3 years in jail!
Jurists be like: Well - it depends.
@@disco.jellyfish No, it doesn't depend on anything. It is strictly forbidden!
@@grossmeister1181 Well, it indeed does depend. Glorifying is strictly forbidden. Showing how it looked like (depending on the context) isnt essentially forbidden. Accidentally doing it isnt forbidden. Doing it as a joke (usually) isnt forbidden (depending on the context). Doing it alone isnt forbidden either. Also especially while joking §153, StPO usually got you covered anyway.
Also your sentence heavily depends on context. If you have been sentenced to a fine a couple of times because of doing it in public before already. You might end up in jail for a couple months in a few cases.
@@disco.jellyfish Oh yeah, showing it for educational or art purposes is fine 🙄🙄🙄 Makes a real difference. But we can do it like that: you go to a public place and talk to people walking there that you want to show them how Adolf was saluted. Let's see what happens. I will bring a camera, just for educational purposes 😂😂😂😂
@@grossmeister1181 So you do agree it depends? Good.
I love the rule about not wishing someone a happy birthday before their birthday!!!
I'm from western Germany and in my family it was considered polite to take off the shoes before you enter someone's house or flat. Today I live in my own apartment and it gives me a huge headache when someone walks into my home and steps on my carpets with their dirty shoes. On the other hand, when you are invited to a Christmas dinner or dinner at a friend's house, a lot of times the host will tell you that it's fine if you leave your shoes on. I would suggest asking the host if you should take your shoes off or not.
Ok, aber immer bedenken, dass der Gastgeber am Tag danach die komplette Wohnung staubsaugt und feucht wischt um den Dreck von den Besuchern wieder loszuwerden und um dann wieder barfuß, auf Socken oder in Hausschuhen rumzulaufen...

I can’t wait to visit Germany in general, but finding out I don’t have to make small talk is great haha. Thank you for making this! These videos are so helpful!
You can do,depend on Situation.
Shoes definitely out! I'm always so disgusted when I see (American) people in movies lounging on their sofa with their street shoes on. Another big thing, at least in Berlin, is: don't throw your Pfand in the trash bins on the street. Rather, put it next to the trash so homeless people can pick it up and get some extra $ 😍
C J I’ve definitely seen people who do it in real life. I sure don’t.
Bist du ein Berliner( kein pfannkuchen)?
I I don't think it's a Berlin thing. We do it in Munich, too. Might be a big cities thing.
@@kedisheher3716 Nope, it's a german thing. I always put the Pfand next to the trash bin, no matter the city I am in.
Hm... or maybe it's just a "decent person" thing to think about less fortunate people?
I don't wear shoes/boots inside either.
I live in Canada, spent a lot of time in Hannover.
But, yes, a definite NO to shoes inside.
Rule No. 17: Don't expect the Deutsche Bahn to be on time.
Also, thanks for the likes.

In northern Germany birthday wishes after the birthday is allowed. I don't know about other parts and I am a little bit confused to hear that in this video. With the point about birthday wishes before the birthday you are right. But after? I do a lot saying "Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag nachträglich".
Found you all from The Beesley’s reaction video to your Texas Barbecue taste test/review. Glad to be here!!!
Ich war in Amerika in der Sauna. Als einzige nackte war es auch nicht lustig 🤣
Aber Saune macht doch auch keinen Sinn, wenn man noch was an hat 😅
😂o Gott ich fühle im Nachhinein noch mit dir😅
Janinoli Ich war zwar noch nie in einer aber geht man nicht dorthin um zu schwitzen ? Mit Kleidung schwitzt man doch viel mehr
Alexwaldi Neubauer eigentlich verhindert die Kleidung sogar das schwitzen und das staut irgendwie irgendwas. Jedenfalls soll das garnicht gut sein, wenn da Textilien drüber sind. Ist auch super unangenehm😅
Echt jetzt? Amis gehen mit Kleidung in die Sauna? Das war mir neu
*Petition for quiet hours to be a thing in every country*
Yes please!
In the US there is NO respect for sleepers, day or night.
Yeah in Serbia they start doing work at 10PM! it is so annoying when you try to sleep!
uh uh not a good idea people start getting REALLY angry about you walking around in your house after 8 a clock

We always take our shoes off at the door. Live in the U.S.

You forgot the "holy" sunday. Be careful with work in the garden, your neighborhood is watching you.
Is that really a thing?
I mean you should probably not work with any loud machine's, but if you just work with your hands it should be okay.
@@mschroti that’s no problem but don’t use your RASENMÄHER AM SONNTAG

My neighbours will hoover at 8 am on a Sunday. And their machine sounds like a dying cat. I almost called the police. Leute gibt's...
@@r.u.342 Wann ist das?
Very good advice. I grew up having to leave shoes at the door. Time goes on and we do not do that. Heather
The quiet hours weren’t a thing during my time in Berlin, my dad used to run his platoon singing in cadence loudly at 0430 in West Berlin
When my Dad was stationed in Augsburg Germany in the early '60s, one thing I remember learning not to do, is to eat with one of you hands on your lap. Both hands had to be on the table.
And you have to sleep with your hands above the blanket. ☝
@@LaurentiusSiemer Probably for the same reason. :-)
Right
Still true today.
Well today it‘s more like „don‘t put your elbow on the table“
*Respect quiet hours*
I'm German, me and my friends at 1:00 am:
"weiß jemand die uhrzeit? "
" nein, warte kurz"
*holt Trompete raus und bläst hinein*

good thing my parents are friends with our neighbors so they tolerate the Lärm more.

I'd really like to live in Germany after hearing this. I live in Amsterdam, the street are frequently polluted with trash and litter and my sleep gets disturbed by people yelling, honking etc. almost every night. Wish we had this respect for the quiet hours overhere.
Ich lebe in der USA, und es ist sehr schlecht. Meine Frau und ich wollen unbedingt nach Deutschland ziehen. Wir lernen Deutsch gerade Deutsch.
Hello, as a German who still lives in Germany, I can put this into perspective. To be honest, there are many people in Germany who, despite the fact that it is stipulated by law, don't care at all. Because if someone really calls the police for "disturbing the peace", the people who don't keep to these quiet times will only be warned. In addition, it is often the case in villages that many work with their circular saws on Sundays and thus disturb the "Sunday rest".
On the subject of "trash on the street" I unfortunately have to say that in Germany, especially in the cities, it is getting worse and worse when it comes to pet droppings. Many dog owners don't see the need to clean up their pets' feces, so much of it ends up on the sidewalks and if you're not careful, you can smell it at home (under the soles of your shoes).
Because it is an immigrant city
