I STRONGLY encourage everyone not to come to Germany, especially if you are an entrepreneur or a developer. Horrific laws like GDPR, Hackerparagraf, Upload Filter etc. are passed every week. Even the north Korea is more business and IT friendly than Germany.

As a counter-opinion, I strongly encourage people to consider Germany where the law ensures your rights as individuals are respected by corporations, regardless of where they are domiciled, and protects people in all circumstances (public health insurance, generous jobless benefits, good work/life culture). It's really nice as an entrepreneur not to worry about getting sick, or how I will feed my family, even in lean times.

What a surprise when foreigners learn that they cannot opt-out from their monthly healthcare contributions (while debt is accumulating proactively already), the jobless benefits are a minefield and they don't qualify for them, the miserable startup they got job in prays on people depending on visas and stay permits while big industry hire only "doctors" and those from "good families".
