If you arrive exactly on time, it’s already too late for the Germans – especially at work. Whether at work, a guided tour or an appointment of any kind (doctor, date or school) – the Germans are always 10 minutes early – and that’s true. Germans are considered to be highly punctual and efficient. Living abroad as a German gives you an interesting insight into the stereotypes about German people which foreigners have – some that are true and some ones that are absolutely not.

Beer is an essential part of the culture as well as sausage, sauerkraut and the Dirndl & Lederhosen. They are always on time, efficient and hard-working. As the typical stereotypes go, Germans are described as complainers with no sense of humour.
