In the name of silence


This says our "Hausordnung" (rules regarding how to behave inside your apartment and in the building)
- Thou shalt not: make noise between 13:00 and 15:00 and 22:00 and 7:00, as well as Sundays and bank holidays until 9:00. Specially, avoid loud music, TV, radio or stuff that makes noise. Think about your neighbours when using such system with open windows or on the terrace.
- Thou shalt not: shower/bathe between 22:00 and 6:00 (or be noisy about it)
- Thou shalt : use noisy electronic appliances only on weekdays between 7:00 and 13:00, and 15:00 and 20:00
- Thou shalt control your children and prevent them from making noise in the stairs

And of course, there is the "Ruhetagordnung", which basically says that if you dare to make noise on a Sunday, the wrath of god (the catholic, and the protestant one) will fall upon you.

Two sundays ago, two guys where removing snow at 6am, using a hot air gun. So much for holy Sunday, "Ruhetag", "Hausordnung" (although this was on the street) and common sense.

This morning somebody (the same guys?) with a hot air gun was removing snow at 6am, to no avail, since when I went out at 8 everything was covered by snow.

I am pissed.
