German Etiquette Tips

If you are at a pub in Germany and you see a brass plaque on the table, don't sit there! The plaque marks the table as “Stammtisch.” That means that table is where a regular group of drinkers sit. Tables without the plaque, however, are meant to be shared, so have a seat and order a beer! Enjoy your trip (and the beer!) but do keep in mind some basic etiquette guidelines for your trip to Germany.
