When employees in Germany are allowed to retire depends on the year of birth. Some are allowed earlier, others have to wait until they turn 67.
For most people, retirement occurs at the age of 67. Many voices from politics and business are already calling for the retirement age to be raised further. However, even in the current pension system, this situation is only possible for a few people. But there is an exception for people who work in mining, but they have to take action to take more points out of their pension. For other cohorts born in 1964 or after, retirement age is 67, even after 35 years of contributions. But this does not mean that it is not possible to retire earlier, as it is with deductions..
