Habits of the Germans, from which our citizens get their eyes on the forehead

If you answer the question quickly, How do Germans live?I can say at least that well. Economically strong country, smart people, normal climate. The Germans themselves are not much different from the rest of Europe, but there are some differences.



Traditions, way of life and their laws may catch our eye, but the Germans are so used to it. Well, let's look at some German habits that we don't have.

So, let’s start with our younger brothers. Namely dogs. The Germans love their pets and do not give them to anyone. And since the people themselves are very clean, they also have a special approach to dogs. In Germany, dogs are allowed almost everywhere. They take them to shops, hairdressers, even in cafes. There, by the way, the owners of the institution often feed four-legged, if the owner, of course, does not mind.



Recently, dogs were allowed to be taken to hospital beds. It is said that it helps patients better tolerate stress.

It is no secret that the prices of communal housing in Europe are beyond fiction. And everyone knows that the Germans are a tough people. In Germany, the room temperature rarely exceeds 18 degrees. Batteries work like this: they heat up to a certain temperature, and then cool down. It's more economical, yes. But a comfortable temperature does not work at all. So sitting at home in a warm sweater is normal in Germany.



If the German turns on the battery, then only after closing all the windows. Don't let the heat go. It’s not like opening windows in our homes in winter to let in fresh air. And how do Germans live without +28 on a thermometer?

What unites the people of Germany is the love of football and growing plants. The whole world knows about their achievements on the field, but only a few people know about gardening. Indeed, in an ordinary German, the entire apartment can be furnished with pots with flowers, cacti, even newfangled microgreens. Especially if the apartment has a balcony. And in a private house, God himself ordered to put a flower bed.



Another German hobby you also know, but the average German it is most often available at the famous Oktoberfest. They like "foam parties."

Potatoes are amazing, but it's true. We thought we knew a lot about potatoes. For us, this root vegetable is distinguishable only by the color, size and concept of young-old. The Germans have a different approach. There are 3 types of potatoes in German supermarkets. Mehligkochend - soft and starchy. Good for mashed potatoes. Festkochend On the contrary, dense and almost without starch. Ideal for frying and grilling potatoes. And Vorwirgend festkochend - Medium view. Suitable for any dish, most often for soup.



By the way, all potatoes sold are packed in special bags. The Germans can’t even imagine what it is like to pick a piece of potatoes, all in the ground. That's the norm.

Noise cannot be made in Germany. Germans love silence and prefer to “rest with their ears” in the evening. In Germany, it is customary to go to bed early, especially in good families. Therefore, if the neighbors or someone outside the window turns on loud music or similar inconspicuousness, the typical German will not wait for the weather by the sea and immediately contact the police. By the way, she'll come right away and figure out what's going on. So it will not be easy for young people who are always underachieving here. You can't turn on the washing machine tonight. We need to do this in advance.



That's right, by the way. And how do you remember how a few years ago there was fashion at home karaoke, and even whiskey begins to pulsate.

So the Germans are doing great. With their own traditions and way of life, but they really strive to live in a way that does not interfere with others and at the same time feel comfortable. By the way, this also applies to visitors. For example, doctors do not care who to help: a local or a foreigner. If something serious happens, immediately put on his feet. Well, hold on!
