March introduces several important changes for consumers in Germany.
Renters will see higher health insurance contributions, reducing their net pension payments.
Additionally, those looking to boost their pensions can make voluntary contributions until March 31. For workers, the minimum wage for temporary employees rises to €14.53 per hour.
Travelers should note new train routes, such as the direct connection between Rostock and Munich, and disruptions at Berlin's main station due to construction.
Meanwhile, moped and e-scooter riders must update their insurance plates to avoid penalties.
Lastly, the clocks will move forward on March 30 as daylight saving time begins.
