Ever since Germany introduced mandatory medical face masks to combat the spread of COVID-19, we’ve started looking alike. DW’s Marcel Fürstenau misses the days when we could wear whichever masks we fancied.

No longer facing the music: DW's Marcel Fürstenau's sheet music mask is collecting dust in his hallway
Angela Merkel wears a white face mask when she announces the latest coronavirus safety measures she has agreed with Germany's 16 state premiers, who sport the same masks.
These medical masks, known as Filtering Face Pieces, or FFP2, are effective but look as bland as their name sounds. They've become ubiquitous in Germany since they were made compulsory in shops, on public transport and at many workplaces in January. Alternatively, you can wear light blue surgical masks.

COVID-19: What's the difference between face masks?
Individualist days are over
The coronavirus pandemic is very serious, and masks are rightfully mandatory, please do not get me wrong. But before medical masks became compulsory, our face coverings were just so much more colorful and individualistic.
DW's Marcel Fürstenau — sans mask
In March 2020, many Germans began sewing their own masks — because medical masks, or regular ones for that matter, were not yet widely available. Many got creative, making their own, or buying them from others. Necessity is the mother of invention, after all.
Within a matter of weeks, Germany had become a nation of mask-clad individualists. Cotton and polyester face coverings — in a plethora of colors and designs — began popping up. Some were sporting plastic face shields, too.
