  • I feel the same in North Germany

    Germans started putting their flags after football/soccer world cup 2006 games in Germany, before that I've never seen any flags in Germany. If hanging a flag means being racist then sure close to Northern Germany is Denmark, they even present small flag when someone gets birthday gift. I receive their flags on my every birthday. Even they put their flags on Christmas tree.

    About Northern Germany I do not agree with you, as Hamburg and Bremen are the most international cities of Germany, and what about Hannover, Bremenhaven, Luebeck, Kiel, Cuxhaven and a very tiny town like Heide where you see lots of non Germans, there Germans also put flags outside their houses but on weekends and evening they go for coffee at Nilo cafe (coffee shop run by Romanian guy) then they buy their clothes from a shop run by some Indian guy.

    Of course there are racists everywhere but Germany is far open to immigrants than big cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia where Moroccan and other African people are struggling to survive. If get time then please sit with them and listen their stories of being badly discriminated by Spaniards and then compare your experience as Auslanderin living in Germany.
