Birthday traditions in Germany don’t be single by 30 - Women in the United States and around the world would perhaps love the birthday tradition following single men (those without girlfriends) who have reached the age of 30 in Germany. According to German custom, these single men are made to sweep the steps of City Hall (I don’t know why City Hall, why not the single females from the neighborhood allow him to clean their home and if he does a good job; he might no longer be single).

Upon finishing this task, the birthday "boy's" friends toss in some more dirt and rubble to ensure that passing females will see him and know that he keeps a clean house. Additionally, for others' birthdays, a wooden wreath with burning candles is set on the table, with the candles burning all day long.
