How much to tip at a restaurant in Germany?

Restaurant staff in Germany (and elsewhere in Europe) are typically paid a higher base wage than their counterparts in the U.S. and Canada, and restaurant prices are "endprices," set to provide enough profit to pay those wages.

However, with increased international tourism, the notion that tips are not necessary is fading away. Still, tipping is much more modest than in North America. In Germany, it's accepted to round up the price on the bill (NEVER a "check") to the next Euro or so. If the check is €12,45, €13 is good; if it's €12,95, €14 will be appreciated.

Also, each waitperson carries a wallet with money and will make change right at the table if you're paying in cash. If you're presented with the bill above and you hand it back with a €20 note, you could say, "Make it 13 (or 14)," which would tell the server that you're giving them a tip. That is a more accepted way of giving a tip than leaving money on the table.

It's important to know that in many parts of Germany and Austria, if you hand the bill and money to the server and say, "Danke," which is German for "thank you," you're essentially saying "Keep the change." While it's nice to try to use some of the native language when visiting another country, this could result in you leaving a much larger tip than you intended.

What were the reasons for the mass migration in 1945 from Turkey to Germany?

The large scale of immigration of Turkish workers from the beginning of the 1960s was due both to the high population growth and mass unemployment within Turkey and also to the demand for labour in north-west Europe. West Germany, like other Western European nations, had begun to experience a labour shortage by the mid-1950s. Recruitment of workers from Mediterranean countries was one solution to this problem.[21] In 1961, the construction of the Berlin Wall exacerbated West Germany's labour crisis by restricting the flow of immigrants from East Germany. Turkey at the same time experienced unemployment. The Turkish government asked Germany to recruit Turkish guest workers. Theodor Blank, Secretary of State for Employment, was opposed to such agreements, believing that the cultural gap between Germany and Turkey was too large. He also argued that Germany needed no additional foreign laborers, because there were enough unemployed people living in the poorer regions of Germany who could take these jobs. But the United States put some political pressure on Germany, as it wanted to stabilize Turkey .The German Department of Foreign Affairs carried on negotiations after this and in 1961 an agreement was reached. Pressure from German employers in 1962 and 1963 played a key role in ending the two-year limit on the time for which Turkish workers were permitted to stay in West Germany.

In 1961, a total of 7,116 Turks migrated to Germany as guest workers.
