Where everyday life is still safe: Switzerland vs Germany
Many Germans are drawn to Switzerland these days - and not without reason. Here you experience respect and consideration in everyday life, be it at the market or in the streets. Fixed break times at work and strict protection against noise on Sundays create real relaxation. Environmental awareness and sustainability are a matter of course here.

What speaks in favour of Switzerland
More and more Germans appreciate the reassuring feeling of security and stability in Switzerland. In a survey on the YouTube channel of emigration agency Deine3a, 45 per cent of respondents stated that less crime was the main reason for their move. According to the Federal Statistical Office, over 310,000 German citizens were already living permanently in Switzerland at the beginning of 2022 - and the trend is rising.
Many new arrivals report how confidently they walk through public spaces here again. Whether at the market, on the tram or on an evening stroll: situations that were often associated with a queasy feeling in Germany are once again a relaxed experience in Switzerland. Even parents have the confidence to send their children to school unaccompanied.
Everyday Swiss culture is characterised by consideration and clear rules. Sundays are quiet without loud building work or parties. In everyday working life, people here actually take their lunch break on time - not with a laptop on their lap, but with a knife, fork and time for themselves, as Sebastian Deitert from Deine3a observes.
Anyone who wants to switch off after work will find ideal conditions in Switzerland. E-mails after office hours are rare, constant availability is not part of everyday life. For the first time, many Germans can enjoy real breaks again and leave the pressure of constant multitasking behind them.
Sustainability and quality of life are an integral part of everyday life in Switzerland. Public transport, the avoidance of plastic bags and durable products are not trendy topics here, but a matter of course. New immigrants often automatically adapt to this environmentally conscious environment without sustainability being elevated to an ideology.
However, moving to Switzerland requires good preparation when it comes to insurance, rental deposits and the recognition of qualifications. The agency Deine3a accompanies interested parties from the initial consultation to moving in and helps to make the new start smooth and relaxed.
Summary
To summarise, Switzerland offers Germans a daily life full of security, consideration and clear rules. Fixed break times, strict Sunday noise protection and environmental awareness create space for relaxation and quality in everyday life. It is precisely this mix that makes Switzerland a particularly attractive alternative.
