  • This is correct. If found a club (“Verein” in German) under German jurisdication you will be rehistered as a so called e.V. and get some benefits. The biggest one is that the club will not pay taxes (or at least pay less taxes) for earned money. However, there are some downsides. You have to have a legal statute, you need several formal representatives (one who is responsible for finances, and usually two who are legal representatives of the club). These have to be elected each year on the mandatory club member meeting. The protocol from this meeting has to be signed by a lawyer. AFAIK there are also limits on how much money you are allowed to have your bank account. This due to the the nature of the “e.V.” label, which means that you are a non profit organisation and this means, that you can’t just hoard huge amounts of money.

    Ling story short: you have to do quite a lot of bureaucracy in order to save money on taxes. It definitely is nothing that is worth for playing a bit of football and chugging some beers with 3 people every two weeks




  • Absolutely this. Ai can help you learning new stuff but you still have to have the motivation to learn. I recently had to write a parser for an init file in C (which I have never used before) so I thought to myself “let’s ask an Ai, it should get something this basic done right”. Yeah, it didnt work. So I started actually diving into how C works, writing the first lines and also editing an existing Parser I got to fit my use case. If I encountered an Error I tried to fix it and if I couldn’t I would ask an LLM why this Error was happening. This way I learned way more than if the Ai would have actually given me something that worked out of the box. Especially the rewriting and debugging part taught me a lot and the AI was very useful, since it acted like an interactive teacher that could spot the Errors in your code and explain why they appeared.
