How do most German men carry their laptop and documents to work?
For example, in China, adult men do not usually carry a backpack to work, but instead use a laptop bag or a document briefcase. Backpacks are perceived as "juvenile" and "only for students".
In South Korea, however, backpacks are quite fashionable. And even adult men wearing suits will still carry a backpack to work.
What is the norm in Germany?
What about in the IT industry? Especially at a company that has no dress code?
Danke!

Hello, backpacks are being used more and more. I am working for a big German car parts supplier (>25.000 employees). I know some people (IT, engineering) who are using backpacks for their work documents and laptops. This is especially common when they use a bicycle for going to work.

Laptop bag or document briefcases are common, I have not seen people carrying backpacks to big companies, especially when wearing tie and suit.. But I am not from this branch, so let's wait for other answers.
