“The state rewards this’: How you can improve your pension in retirement. For every month that you continue to work after your retirement, there is a surcharge on your pension of 0.5 percentage points.

The retirement age without deductions will be gradually increased to 67 years. If you don't want to work that long, you can retire at the age of 63 after 35 years of contributions. The deductions can be offset by special payments. According to the German pension insurance, these requirements must be met: at least 50 years old.
