Investing Starter Class — Germany is a practical beginner course for people living in Germany who want to understand how investing actually works here. Learn how investing makes sense, how ETFs work, how to think about cash vs. long-term investing, and how German brokerage accounts, Sparpläne, taxes and Freistellungsauftrag fit together. A dedicated lesson explains the new Altersvorsorgedepot from 2027 and how Germany is introducing ETF-based investing into state-supported retirement provision. The course ends with practical lessons from my own experience managing a brokerage portfolio of nearly €2 million. No trading hype, stock tips or personalized financial advice — just a clear framework you can understand in about an hour and get started right away.
