Hey i need help to explain this haircut to my barber auf Deutsch. There‘s only türkisch barbershop in my place and i have difficulty to explain the haircut i want because they only know typical german/türkisch haircut and not the modern haircut even if i showed them the picture. I want the back side to have such length and textured so i can style it but the bottom part need to be short and neat. For the side part i would like it to be low tapered. Top part - i have typical asian hair with stra

I need to appreciate this phenomenon properly. I’m an immigrant...educated in the British system, worked in Japan, and recently moved to Germany. Initially, whenever a German would say *“I speak a little bit of English,”* I’d mentally prepare for a basic conversation (and yes, I must admit I was importing that bias from past experience. I'm really am sorry). But then… they proceed to speak in perfectly structured, almost elegant sentences (even by Victorian standards). Meanwhile, I’m stuck in

I was in Freiburg, Germany, eating this immaculate dark sausage. I thought it was just fancy smoked ham. Then the waiter told me it was 'Zungenwurst'—literally pig’s blood and pickled tongue.

Hi everyone, I was thinking of putting this 2 cm nail in the wall to hang a poster. Probably, I am overthinking, but I would like to know if I should check for electric cables in the wall before I hammer it. Or this is irrelevant because of the size of the nail and only important for drilling purposes? Better safe than sorry xD Thanks for your feedback! EDIT: OK, I UNDERSTAND THAT CHECKING ELECTRIC CABLES IS A MUST. COULD YOU MAYBE ***RECOMMEND A*** ***CHEAP DEVICE THAT I CAN USE TO DETECT T

I was initially scared of doing my exchange semester here based on the usual stereotype of German people being direct, cold, and not very welcoming. however, when I got here, some of the people are the nicest (even though I can only say danke and hallo!) random grandma just talk to me, people just opened the door for me, and they were so helpful and smiled a lot! I think german friendliness are underappreciated. just my two cents!

This morning, an elderly man fell in front of our house. Within one minute, all the neighbors were outside to help. Passing cars stopped as well. The older gentleman was quickly brought back home. I’m so proud. Thank you that I get to live in a village / an area / a country where something like this is simply taken for granted. Even though social media often tries to make us believe otherwise, this was and is reality.

Is this normal in Germany? If I was to rent this place I can just shower and cook all within the same time? Of course I'll practice lüften more but it's weird to have a shower in the kitchen. I found this from another student posting their place for rent after moving out.

I found this on a bin at a train station

I saw a photo posted here a while ago and loved the atmosphere so much that I tried to paint it in watercolor. Hope I did it some justice! Thanks to the original photographer for the inspiration 🙏 https://www.reddit.com/r/germany/s/etA5L4t276

When I first moved to Germany about 4.5 years ago, I went through a major culture shock. I was used to the warmth and openness of Southeast Asia and the United States. I'm in Alicante, Spain right now for two weeks and can't wait to go home to Germany! People are so loud and talkative here. I was enjoying a nice lunch with my family when a woman at a table next to us started chatting up. This happened quite a few times already. For instance, an old man at the supermarket said hi to my son and

For context: I am a black woman (African) with dreadlocks living in Halle (Saale). After living in Germany for about a year, I experienced my first direct racist interaction. Normally no one has ever said anything directly towards me but I’ve gotten the usual weird/unpleasant looks and people refusing to sit next to me in public transport or get up once I sit next to them. I was on the tram standing close to the doors since I was getting off on the next stop. I had luggage with me so I was foc

Hey everyone, I’m working as a bus driver in Germany and had a situation yesterday that I’m still thinking about. It happened at the bus station in Leverkusen Mitte Busbahnhof while I was on my break, so the bus wasn’t in service anymore. Three teenagers (maybe 14–15 years old) got on and insisted I drive them somewhere. I explained calmly that I’m not driving and asked them to leave. Instead of leaving, they started insulting me, throwing small things at me, and recording me on their phones

I feel a large part of this sub is UK/USA citizens asking if they can move to Germany without learning German. Well, since I want to move to Germany in the next 6-8 years, I should probably start learning German. So here I am!

Last month, my brother and I had what I can only describe as a questionable encounter at Frankfurt am Main Hbf. We were in the lounging area waiting for our connecting train when we noticed a guy (judging by his mannerisms, most likely an addict) attempting to whisk away a sleeping man’s bag. Not in a slick, Oceans-Eleven-kind-of-way… more like whispering God-knows-what spells (literally) to himself while slowly inching the bag away. And yes, we tried waking the sleeping guy up… except he was d

This is Schloss Drachenburg.

I have been to Frankfurt many times. It's not everyday you see such a beautiful scene in Frankfurt

I asked my neighbors but no one answered. I tried to just open it by pulling on the handle but it didn't work. It doesn't have a lock.
