Change of month: Winter time, fuel discount, train stations: What changes in October
No more alcohol at train stations and the clocks will be changed again: The new month brings changes in various areas from the garden to prevention.
The German government has announced several changes taking effect in October. From October 1 to December 31, the energy tax on diesel and petrol will be reduced by around 14 cents per liter, resulting in a 17-cent relief per liter at the pump. The Deutsche Bahn will implement an alcohol ban at all 5,400 German train stations by October 15 to improve safety and cleanliness.
Additionally, the clocks will be set back by one hour on October 25 as the country transitions to winter time, and a ban on radical pruning of hedges and bushes will be lifted on October 1. New EU rules will also limit the use of certain "forever chemicals" in products such as clothing and cosmetics starting October 10.
