How long should you keep financial and insurance documents in Germany?
Based on community experience, you can generally discard most financial and insurance documents after a certain period. However, it's strongly recommended that you keep all retirement-related documents, especially employment records and pay stubs, for your entire life. The German pension fund might need these documents to verify your work history when you apply for your pension.
