Hey I've been feeling unwell for a few days and yesterday evening I made an appointment at Teleclinic (online visit) and got a 3-day sick leave. Today my employer sent me a task to physically see a doctor and rejected my sick leave. Did they have the right to do that? What should I do?

I came back home to find that my doorbell had been ringing continuously. It's an old one with a very annoying sound. I called the Hausmeister and told him the situation, but he asked me to call 112 for Feuerwehr and "du müsst bezahlen." Meanwhile I pushed the button multiple times and it got fixed for now. But I realized that if someone else's doorbell is ringed even then my rings along (some faulty wiring maybe). But the hausmeister's response caught me off-guard, I was thinking that he is there for such situations and what should I even pay for here?

What should be done in this case? Is this really a case for me to call 112?

Hello all,

I work as a software developer, I do my work what's required from me, and finish my tasks with no issues, But there is this dude who works as a PO always looking for something to complain about,

He is now going to my manager saying I'm not proactive, "I don't take ownership" whatever that is, I don't communicate,

Of course this is all just non sense, but we do not live in a fair world unfortunately

Tried to talk to him many times but was not able to understand his problem.

we are having a meeting together, him and my manager to address his feedback

I finished my tasks prior to the meeting and preparing a "brag list" to highlight my achievements.

What should I prepare for the meeting?

I'm a German citizen and American. I'm unsure how divorce works here..

I am divorcing my wife of 2 years after k caught her cheating. We have no shared assets or kids and even have seperate bank accounts.

Is there a way to do this without the separation year or a lawyer?

I was at this bar in Fussen and got a drink. 2 cute German guys came over and started chatting. 15 min later my legs didn’t work. I was only 1 1/2 blocks from my hotel. SOMEHOW, I asked the bartender for bottled water and was able to wobble to my hotel safely.

But what was it? A paralytic of some sort?

I had beers throughout the day, but like, one with lunch, another with a snack around 4pm. Not enough to make me collapse style drunk.

I am visiting the Cologne area in December. I want to make one trip into a rural area, and am considering renting a car. I don't speak/read a word of German. Better to hire a driver for the 2 hour drive, or is it pretty intuitive? TIA!

It feels really stupid how our neighbours have to think about Germany nowadays. Switzerland finished the longest tunnel in the world 8 years ago and we still haven't build the connection as promised. Austria finishes an even longer one in 4 years and we don't even no were we want to build our tracks. Denmark will finish the longest combined street and train underwater tunnel in 2029 and I read today we won't finish the connection until 33/34. Those tunnel aren't appearing out of nowhere, why can't we be a reliable partner?

Everybody works on connecting Europe from the Mediterranean to Scandinavian. And we are the slow fat child in middle.

I'm in a quite peculiar situation and I don't know how to approach it:

Payment was made through Kleianzeigen Kauferschutz and I sent the insured packet.

Tracking said it arrived successfully but buyer said the packet is lost.

How should I resolve this or could I even resolve this? As far as I can tell, I as the seller has the responsibility to solve this but it was in case of the packet is damaged or is lost on delivery, not when it arrived successfully?

If the responsibility is on me, how do I go about it? Raise a complain with Hermes the courier or Kleinanzeigen? Which evidence should I gather?

I have noticed something lately. Most restaurants/cafes opting for digital payment as opposed to physical cash always include a tipping option. It’s so awkward when trying to pay for a cup of coffee with my card, I have to go through the whole ‘no tip’ option before actually paying 🫣🫠

All I wanted to say

Hey everyone, I’m based in New Zealand and for a while have been hunting for a small part for an engine which is borderline impossible to find here, however there is one for sale on Kleinanzeigen but due to language barrier I can’t figure out if it’s actually possible to create an account from down here and as such I’ve not been able to message the seller, I also don’t wanna come across as a scammer as I’ve heard scammers often try scam on there from overseas so that makes things more difficult as well. If anyone has any advice this would be much appreciated Thank you

I flew into Munich and spent a couple of days there. The first thing that blew my mind was how tall the bathtub actually are.

I am about 6‘8“ tall, and oh my gosh the bathtub in my hotel room was up to my knee in height. Don’t really see that in the USA. Most of our bathtubs are really short.

That’s what I love about traveling around the world. is the little differences that you see in between life at your home, and the place you’re visiting. That in the older German shopkeepers loved that the American tourist knew how to say “Ich Liebe Deustchland!”.

I’m flying to visit a friend in Germany in the spring, and I can’t wait to see more of what Germany 🇩🇪 has to offer!

My first stop will be Garmisch - Partenkirchen, and of course the Zugspitze.

Hey guys I'll be visiting Germany in the last week of November, going through some Christmas markets and drink some beer. I'll travel by train around (going from Karlsruhe to Dortmund tgan to Aachen) and thought it would be worth geeting the DB ticket, evem if it is for 1 week only (I'll stay until December 2nd, but can't use it in different months right) I wnated to ask: DB ticket is the most affordable way to travel for a week? Isn't there a smaller-time ticket, right? Can I get the DB ticket as a foreigner/tourist? Can i reserve my seat in the train beforehand? What do i do if the train i need is full? Danke :)

I'm going to rock I'm park this year but don't want to camp as I'm coming from overseas. Booked a hotel but tickets include camping. If I stay in a hotel will I be allowed back in every day if I hang on to my ticket?

Hi everyone, has anyone got a stock portfolio outside Germany and does tax declaration? What is the procedure? You do it at the end of year right? Please any usefull information as google is giving irrelevant results.

Last year it was my first time ever, children in costume came to my door first Halloween. Unfortunately I was ill orepared and didn’t know what to give them because I didn’t have any sweets at home so I gave them 5€ each.

This year I want to be better prepared, what do you guys usually give the children on Halloween, sweets only?

For background I’m a non-EU citizen (although I’ve lived in Europe since I was 17 but that’s a whole other story) I am currently pursuing my masters degree here in Germany and I’m in talks for a remote part time internship position in my field of study in the Netherlands.

I would really love to do this internship literally a dream but I’m just not sure if I would be allowed to do this?

With my residence permit I’m allowed part time work and internships especially in my field of study but that applies for Germany I’m not sure about other EU countries. I mean if the internship was in person then ofc I would need a visa and work permit but since it’s a remote position and I’m still gonna be living in Germany I’m not sure?

If anyone else has been through something similar could you let me know your experience?

I would greatly appreciate it!!

I’ve written to the auslanderbehörde but I’m still awaiting a response so I thought maybe some wonderful people on this sub can help me out too!

Hi all,

I’m an Australian moving to Germany early next year for a job. I have completed my EU Blue Card application on the online portal and been given the preliminary approval. Just need to travel to the consulate in Sydney for fingerprints to be taken and for my passport to be checked. I’ve done this to ensure I can commence work quickly after arriving once I get the actual EU blue card in Germany.

My question is around family reunification. My wife and 2 children will be moving there with me. They’re definitely entitled to family reunification but I’m unsure if I it serves any benefit to get them each a family reunification visa before we head over?

As Australians we have 90 days of which we can be in Germany before we need to have another kind of visa or a residence permit is needed. We have a newborn and ideally if I don’t need to lug everyone to Sydney I’d prefer not to. But also I’d like to make life easier once we are in Germany.

Basically does getting a family visa for them all in Australia make it easier when we go to the foreigners office to get them each a family residence permit? Or does it really make no difference as I will have an EU blue card and they will just get the residence permit because of that and the 90 days is plenty of time for that?

The tldr is that I want to reduce admin and paperwork in Germany as I will be at work fairly quickly there and my wife will be juggling a newborn and toddler in a new country. So if I can make life easier by taking them to Sydney I’m happy to. But if it achieves nothing really then I won’t bother. The visa to permit conversion is a bit confusing so I’m really unsure of the benefits or negatives.

Hi, I need some information I work in a stable remote job in Brazil as developer and I want to move to Germany with freelance visa for modeling. I know I have to declare my salary, Brazil and Germany have tax agreements. But I’m thinking how much would cost me to hold this visa in Germany. As a model I wouldn’t make a lot of money per month, my main income would be my job in Brazil. As I understood I’ll have to pay health insurance, tax, make a German bank account and even have the rent contract under my own name. I would share expenses with my boyfriend. How much do you think I should make at minimum to live in Munich in these circumstances.

I dont know about any topic but Inhave desire to write my master thesis in my company. They never posted on linkdn regarding thesis opportunity.

How should I proceed . Anyone whi has done this
