Punctuality

Being on time is highly valued in German culture. Whether it's for work, social events, or meetings, arriving late can be seen as disrespectful.

Direct Communication

Germans often prefer straightforward and honest communication. It's important to express your opinions clearly and avoid excessive small talk, especially in professional settings.

Politeness and Formality

Using polite forms of address (like 'Herr' or 'Frau' followed by the last name) is customary, especially when meeting someone for the first time. Maintain a respectful tone to show consideration.
