What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Freiburg?

"In Freiburg, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Here are some tips: Avoid being loud or boisterous in public places, as Germans value quietness and order. This includes speaking loudly on your phone or playing loud music. Punctuality is highly valued in Germany. Being late for appointments or meetings is considered rude and disrespectful. When dining out, it's customary to wait for everyone's food to arrive before starting to eat. Also, keep in mind that Germans typically use their utensils in the "European style," with the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right. Germans are generally reserved and may not appreciate overly friendly or familiar behavior from strangers. It's best to maintain a respectful distance until you get to know someone better. In Freiburg, as in the rest of Germany, it's considered impolite to chew gum or eat in public places like on the street or on public transportation. Recycling is taken very seriously in Freiburg. Make sure to separate your waste correctly and respect the local recycling rules. Avoid discussing World War II or the Holocaust unless it's brought up by a local. These are sensitive topics and should be approached with care. Finally, remember that jaywalking is illegal in Germany. Always wait for the green light before crossing the street, even if there are no cars coming. This is especially important in Freiburg, a city known for its environmental consciousness and respect for rules," said another expat in Freiburg, Germany.
