When it's 6:00 PM in Frankfurt am Main, it's 12:00 AM (next day) in Hong Kong.
German passport holders can enter Hong Kong visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 1 month beyond your planned departure. At immigration you get a slip of paper instead of a passport stamp. Keep this slip. You need it when you leave.
Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, but its immigration policy is completely separate from mainland China. Entering Hong Kong visa-free does not give you access to mainland China. If you plan to cross into Shenzhen or anywhere on the mainland, you need a separate Chinese visa or must qualify for the mainland visa-free policy independently.
There is no option to extend the 90-day stay for tourism. If you want to work in Hong Kong, your employer must sponsor a work visa before you arrive. Apply through the Hong Kong Immigration Department. Processing takes 4 to 6 weeks.

Subtropical monsoon climate. Typhoon season (June–October) is the primary disruption risk. The airport operates a T1/T3/T8 signal system and closes for Category T8 or above.
