Be aware that Germany is a federal state and what may be considered acceptable and treated leniently in the North of the Country is not necessarily the case in the South (the main example of this is Marijuana possession, which is ‘tolerated in the cities of the North but treated very harshly in the South of the Country).
Prostitution is legal in Germany.
Do not make any second World War Jokes in public, this is a sensitive subject amongst Germans and could get you into a lot of trouble.
