and the local situation

Aktuelle Situation vor Ort

The Federal Republic of Germany and the Länder (states) have agreed to gradually open public life. Here you can find the latest information about the respective states and the local situation of the Goethe-Instituts on site.

New measures to combat COVID-19

According to the decision taken by the Federal and Länder (states) Governments, from 2 November 2020 until at least 7 March 2021 hotels and other accommodation providers may only provide overnight accommodation to people whose travel is essential. It is no longer permitted to provide overnight accommodation for tourism purposes. Visas for tourism purposes will thus only be issued in exceptional cases. The Länder are responsible for implementing this decision. Whether a specific journey is possible thus depends on the rules of the Land to which you wish to travel. More information can be found here (in German only).
