According to German law, a pillow can be regarded as a passive weapon. Injure someone with a pillow and you could be charged with assault. Unless of course, it's on International Pillow Fight Day. 2. No Drilling on Sundays Germans take the day of rest seriously, and no loud activities are allowed on this peaceful day. Vacuum at your own risk. 3. Avoid Talking about the War Most Germans believe the war to be a huge embarrassment to their nation, and would rather not discuss it. Never do the Nazi salute as it’s an imprisonable offense in Germany. 4. Don’t Close Your Door to a Chimney Sweep It’s actually illegal to refuse entry to a chimney sweep, and all Germans pay for this service whether they have a chimney or not. The law stems from the Middle Ages, but was reinforced back when Hitler used them as a network of spies. 5. Don’t Sing the Original First Verse of the National Anthem During the Nazi era only the first verse was sung. In an effort to distance themselves from Nazi connotations, the official anthem is now the third verse. Pete Doherty once made this highly inappropriate mistake and was booed. 6. Don’t Run Out of Gas Doing so on the superhighway can lead to fines. The law is primarily against unnecessary stops, but has been applied to fools who drive without adequate fuel. 7. Never Walk in Bicycle Lanes Most German cities have plenty of these; numerous cycle lanes for people to get about. However walking on them is not only extremely annoying to pedal pushers, it can be downright dangerous. 8. Don’t Be Late Being late to appointments is severely frowned upon. The more relaxed attitude typically found in southern European countries simply doesn’t cut it here. Aim to be punctual if not a little early. 9. Don’t Keep Your Shoes on in Homes Taking your shoes off when enter somebody’s home is widely expected in Germany. Hosts will often provide you with some indoor house shoes. 10. Never Drink Without a Toast Germany is famous for its beer scene, however it is considered bad form to take the first sip without giving a toast. Usually a toast is as simple as saying “Prost” (cheers!) Make sure to keep eye contact as not doing so is believed to bring bad luck. Now you know what NOT to do, enjoy your time in Germany! Prost!
