Doing laundry in Germany when you don't speak German is a fun puzzle. I was amused to see that some…read morelocales were confused too. Happily, people helped out to get the process going. I loved watching the young men trying to decide if the bright red shirt should go in with the whites, darks or on its own. In the end they didn't wash it. Unlike laundromats in the USA, get change at the counter because there are no change machines. You can also get a cup of detergent from the counter. There is none for purchase there. The options on the washers were not intuitive (see picture) but the dryers were easy.
