- Language: German.
- Currency: Euro (€).
- Clothing: Western. In business situations, dark and simple formal clothing.

- Names: Use a title and the persons last name when addressing people, especially elderly people, ("Sie").
- Don't: jaywalk, as you will be fined. Don't reference or show symbols from the Third Reich regime, (not sure why you would want to).
