Another big aspect is, German people like having control over their spending. Checking my Credit Card is unnecessary frustrating. While you have a pretty good overview of how much you are spending if you always get about the same amount from the ATM.

When you pay only in cash, it will be a burden to keep the receipts, organized and readable, for that long. Plus, isn't it less hassle to use a credit card rather than visit the ATM every so often?
