Things that surprised me the last couple days in Germany:
*a lot of people thought I was German, approaching me to ask directions/other (I don’t know what since I don’t speak German!)
*the trains in Germany do not run on time. It was a running joke/comment among people about trains being late and I had several delays, including 1 that caused me to miss a connection & nearly my flight.
*Many people don’t speak English that well (I’m sure this depends on region/city).
