I just moved to Germany from the US. I saw these things in my bathroom and also my laundry room. What are they?

1. Main water supply to the apartment.

   Left valve shuts off hot water, right one cold.

   You do not need to mess with these, unless there’s an emergency (like a leak).

2. Not trying to be rude, but could you really not take a guess? It’s seriously pretty obvious what they do

3. These are valves to operate the invisible faucet and sink right below

4. Hanger

5. Main shut-off valves. Use if on vacation or in case of plumbing works.
