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

"It is important to be aware of cultural differences when visiting Frankfurt. It is considered impolite to be late for appointments or social engagements, so it is important to be punctual. It is also important to dress appropriately for the occasion, as dressing too casually or too formally can be seen as disrespectful. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs and etiquette when it comes to dining, as certain table manners may be seen as rude. Finally, it is important to be respectful of the local language and to avoid speaking English too loudly in public," wrote a member who made the move to Frankfurt, Germany.

"Oh, yes, so far I can remember. I was most of time more dressed smarter than they were according the German outfits' standards:) and the firm's habits. I thought in a marketing background being dressing smart embodied seriousness, but it was seen as arrogant in this firm. My oh my:) But that mainly lies in the differences to dress and the clothes' choices in both countries:) I used Miss instead Mrs:) Fräulein instead of Frau. Did not use a beer glass to drink beer. Did not use my hands to eat chicken wing and salad during Oktoberfest. I use a fork for that :)," explained one expat living in Frankfurt, Germany.
