Germany may clearly appear in comparison to other countries. Naked naked in public parks, smoking a few times is still possible, while 16-year-old children can legally drink beer or wine-age range 21 in the US.
But Germany is therefore heavy regulated – Sunday and specific on public holiday.
From dancing ban to sandcastl building edits and implementing silence on public holidays, the German rule book is very bizarre, often filled with old laws.
1. Good Friday Dancing – and Movies – Ban
Most of the 16 states of Germany, Good Friday, is considered a “silent public holiday”, where the dance has been forbidden since the Middle Ages. The capital Berlin has a relative Elli Liberal approach to a dancing ban, or “dance ban”, which occurs only from 4 am to 9 am on Good Friday. But in the southern, large -scale Catholic state Bavaria, the prohibition lasts from Thursday to 70 hours from Easter to 70 hours. Penalty may be more as € 10,000 ($ 11,600),
Many other noise activities are forbidden on this day of silence and religious adhering, including car washes, jumble sales and moving houses.
Meanwhile, some 700 films have banned bees during silent public holidays in various German states. Among the people listed under the “Public Holiday Index” seems to be “ghostbusters”, the harmless 1975 cartoon classic “heidi” and films. 1979 religious satire of Monty Python, “Brian’s life.”
But Germans continue to demand their right to dance during the Easter period, and regularly opposed the ban. Meanwhile, SInce 2013, a public screening has been held at the initiative in the city of Bochaum in the West German state of Northern Rhine-Westphalia. “Brian’s life” In protest against the rule,
2. Prohibited: Raising mushrooms at night, wild garlic by day
Choosing mushrooms in the forest at night in Germany is illegal, mainly to stop those who harass the nocturnal wild animals.
So it is illegal to remove wild garlic on the roots for your pasteos and soup. This is because wild garlic, which grows into the forests of moist, tableau and thrives in the floodlines, can easily discover the valley lily with toxic plants.
Choosing a hand bouquet of wild garlic leaves for personal use is a general permission without a special permit in Germany. But it is prohibited to overthrow plants with their bulbs or choose leaves in nature reserve!
3. Not sandcastl on the Baltic beaches.
Children cannot make sandcasts on many beaches on the northeast islands from the North Sea of Germany and Baltic Sea coast. As families come to the sea, children can swim, but cannot manufacture monuments out of the sand or dig deep holes without risk of € 1,000.
The construction of a sandcast on islands such as Sylt is restricted for a good reason: all excavations of sand and movement can lead to beach erosion.
Binz and Celin’s Baltic Resorts on Rain’s island allow sandcastle but have a maximum height of 30 centimeters and a circumference of 3.5 m.
4. Cutting a lawn grass on Sunday – or shopping
Using a lawnmover or even power equipment in Germany on Sunday will earn you anger of your neighbors – and the police potential.
Tradition of Rest periodOr quiet time, still the supreme rule on Sunday what is for families and religious rearing. Generally, you are banned from using all motorized garden equipment, including a lawnmower on Sunday and even public holidays. Those who want to make rackets can be fined.
Sunday’s silence extends to the streets, with Shop closed law Or “Shop Closing Law,” has been banning all types of retail stores since 1956, opening its doors on a federal German law, Sunday and public holidays. While individual states have given more leverage to bee to make their own rules since 2006, Sunday’s purchase is not largely in the whole country, some designated Sunday shopping day year and very limited exceptions for some shops. ,
5. Do not run out of fuel on autoban
This is true, when the fuel comes out, it is stuck on the freeway in Germany.
In Germany, a car-footing, drivers who do not sufficiently fill their tanks before exiting the autobbies are considered carelessly. They can be fined for putting theravas and other drivers to put the therfor in danger as vehicles roar irony on the highways with irony speed from the speed of speed.
Permission to stop at autobbers is only during the emergency.
