A survey by Preply has now revealed that Essen, not Berlin, is the rudest city in Germany. Followed by Dresden and Frankfurt.
Germany – This survey had it all and produced a result no one expected. More than 1,500 participants agreed and voted Essen the rudest city in Germany! This city was followed by two more, who have not necessarily been accused of rude behavior yet.
Dresdenplease do not fall from your seat, because according to a survey Preply language learning platform You are second in unpopularity. Closely followed by a non-oral Frankfurt.
How do? you thought Berlin Will you make it to first place? no one. before you come to Berlin CologneDortmund and Munichwhich fared worse in the overall ranking of the 20 largest German cities.
From November 2 to 7, 2022, residents of these cities across Germany who had resided there for at least twelve months were surveyed about observable rude behavior in their place of residence.
These were behaviors such as, for example, “use your cell phone in public,” “don’t tip,” “wait in queue,” or “noise in public,” which survey respondents rated out of 1 (least rude) to 10 (vulgar). Preply then calculates the average of the values from this.
By the way, the three most polite cities in Germany in the survey were Bochum, Bremen and Hanover. Bochum is just a stone’s throw from the king of insolence Essen!
Politeness as a 2023 resolution
Essen has often attracted negative attention. In the industrial and commercial city, a large number of people are busy with their smartphones. In addition, Esseners often display closed body language and act dismissively towards strangers.
Road users in the car are not particularly considerate in Essen.
In addition to the growing problem of its residents being preoccupied with their mobile phones, Dresden probably has a reputation for being particularly rude in serving people and also for giving little advice! In addition, the Dresden natives were rated as far more impudent than the newcomers.
According to a Preply survey, the city of Bremen is the most generous.
However, as confirmed by the language learning platform, Germany is not a very rude country. On average, no values above 6.47 and no values below 5.84 were achieved. In the overall picture, Germany was pretty average. However, Essen, Dresden and Frankfurt can learn a little from Bochum and make polite behavior a good New Year’s fix.
