In November, Germany will see significant changes with the introduction of the Self-Determination Act, which simplifies the process for transgender, intersex, and non-binary individuals to change their gender and name at registry offices.

This new law eliminates the need for medical certificates or court orders, requiring only a declaration.

Additionally, Anke Rehlinger will take over as the new President of the Bundesrat, succeeding Manuela Schwesig.

From November 20, drones equipped with thermal cameras will be permanently allowed on fields to protect wildlife, such as fawns, from agricultural machinery.

Meanwhile, public bank employees will receive a salary increase of 11.5% in three stages, benefiting around 60,000 workers.

Furthermore, a new economic identification number will be introduced to streamline communication between businesses and authorities, with full implementation expected by 2026.
