Peridot

When I was in Germany...?

at the airport I bought a bottle of water, as the sign said, for what I thought was €1.50, but they charged me €1.75 as there was €.25 'Pfand' on it. Does anyone know what this is and why they were charging extra? I looked up 'Pfand' in the German dictionary and it said 'deposit', so is it just something you have to pay extra in the airport or something?

No not specific to airports it is a deposit for the bottle you get the money back if you bring back the bottle.This is done due to environment issues.
EDIT every shop in germany selling beverages is also obliged to take these bottles back so you will not need to bring it to exactly the shop where you bought it

Yes it is as Hilmar stated, I have been to the airport in Frankfurt, Berlin and Munich and that is a return deposit if you bring it back to where you bought. Bottle redemption is not quite the same as in the USA but they still have it!!

Hope that helps! If you do not want to cash it in or keep it, give it to some one collecting bottles if you see some one! I have before.

MOSTLY you can bring them to any place that takes them!! They used to be only where you bought them from and with proof of receipt, but I believe that has changed and they are excepted anywhere it is sold I think. Hilmar's answer was perfect.

When you turn it back into them they will return your deposit, it is to insure the bottle gets recycled properly.

That is an extra deposit, that you have to pay all over Germany. Not only at Airports.
You can give that bottle back at every store which sells that kind of that bottles and they will give the money back.
Hope, I could help you.

Its The GST Of Australia And America

Where are you from? Because even in the US when you purchase a heavy plastic bottle or an aluminum bottle you pay a small tax that you can get back once it's recycled. That's why it was 25 cents extra.
