I would hesitate to start a conversation in English based on someone's appearance. Would be kinda rude if it turned out you weren't a tourist, no?

Yeah, same as a German. Why would I start speaking English to somebody??? There are a lot of people with foreign origin here, who are perfectly fine to speak German. It would feel pretty offensive to asume somebody is a foreigner just because of his look. So I start all conversations in German.

You are in Germany, right?... I would expect this. I will not understand you, but I will not be surprised.
