I first heard about German sauna rules 10 years ago when I first lived in Germany. My Finnish friend told me that she could not understand the German sauna rules. Back then, I had no idea what she meant.
Now it has become clear to me what the German sauna rules are.
The first time I was in a German sauna was just over ten years ago. It was a gym sauna and quite different from a spa sauna. I was allowed to throw steam myself and sat on my sauna pefletti (a piece of cloth placed on the sauna bench) and no one said anything. Some women sat on big towels and one waved a towel over her head.
I was a little confused then; why is she waving her towel? But it was so nice to be in the heat of the sauna that I did not pay much attention to it.
Note: This is just one example, there are many of these rules.
It sounds like hard work, following all these rules. I am sweating just thinking about it!
Following all these rules will take you more than 2 hours. That is why many Germans spend all day in the sauna world.
There are signs on the walls that tell how you should act in the sauna: do not sweat on the benches, do not throw steam (only staff is allowed to throw steam) and be quiet.
There is also a sign in the sauna world that says that you are not allowed to reserve the sung loungers. In reality, everyone does it.
Not all Germans follow these instructions to a t. But then there are people who stay in the sauna even if they already feel sick.
I think it is good that Germans have these sauna rules. Without them, people would have no idea how to act in the sauna. I think this is the reason why they have come up with all these complicated rules!

The Germans might not have invented the sauna tradition, but they have very much embraced it. Rachel Stewart finds out why the Germans just love to get naked for a communal sweat session.

Rachel Stewart is on a mission to investigate the quirks and idiosyncrasies of daily life in Germany. Every two weeks she explores a new topic — from beer to nudity to complicated grammar — and heads out to get some tips from the Germans themselves.
Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. You'll find more from Meet the Germans on YouTube or at dw.com/MeettheGermans .
