What culture does Germany have?

Answer 1

In many respects, Germans can be considered the masters of planning.

Careful planning, in one's business and personal life, provides a sense of security.

Germans believe that maintaining clear lines of demarcation between people, places, and things is the surest way to lead a structured and ordered life. Even at a beach they will claim their aria with small walls of sand.

Only close friends and relatives are invited into the sanctity of the house, so it is the one place where more informal communication may occur.

There are many unwritten rules surrounding the outward maintenance of one's home.

It is imperative that common areas such as sidewalks, pavements, corridors (in apartments), and steps be kept clean at all times.

Real Germans want everything at least 99%. That is to say, before they purchase any product it should be 100% with a 1 Euro price. Maximum quality (nothing less will do), and minimum price.

Real Germans are perpetual bargain hunters. As soon as they buy anything they are slightly unhappy, because somewhere else that has inevitably escaped their attention, there was some place that had a better quality and it was cheaper!
