Entry from US to Germany

[SquirrellyMama]

Has Germany opened their borders to US residents? I hace been Googling but can't find anything after August.

I thought I had heard they opened up in September. 

There is more to behind this question than I have time to explain. 

Thank you to anyone with information.

Thank you, I kept looking at German sites. I am stressed and didn't think about the US Embassy. Well, sh!t.

If you fit the narrow exceptions in LauraCorin's link, you absolutely must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, and they will fine you over €20K if you bust that quarantine.  And the neighbors will tattle. 

However, I've also heard gossip of people not being allowed to depart the us airport.

Bad info.

This information is on the Delta Air Lines web site. It says it's from September 10, 2020. I suggest that you confirm this information with the airline you plan to fly aboard (NOTE: Delta is blocking Middle Seats, through January 6, 2021) and the ACS in the U.S. Embassy in Germany.

First select "Europe" and then scroll down to Germany.

And here's the most recent list of countries from which people must quarantine. If you open it in chrome it will offer to translate. https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Risikogebiete_neu.html

Yes, sort of.  People can come I think, but you absolutely must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, and they will fine you over €20K if you bust that quarantine.  And the neighbors will tattle. 

However, I've also heard gossip of people not being allowed to depart the us airport.  So I'm not 100% certain.

No, the travel restrictions link on the site you linked does NOT have the US among the non-EU countries from which entry is permitted. There are only some narrow exceptions under which travel is permitted from these countries, unless you're a German citizen.
The status of a Risikogebiet would be relevant for people who fall under the exceptions.

Thank you, Regentrude. I edited.

This isn't related to US citizens entering Germany, but DD reports that some of the border crossings between Austria and Germany were closed again this past weekend.
