I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but the Usenet indexer https://scenenzbs.com/ is specialised in German (+ German/English Dual Language) releases. Registration is open. They have a lot of stuff, not everything if it's older or rare, but enough. For new stuff it's perfect and there is basically everything.

Let me know if you need help setting it up, this is the best way to get German content if you don't have access to a private tracker.

PS: If you are looking for a German dual language Radarr/Sonarr setup I made a guide for that (works for public torrent trackers too, but as you said - there isn't a lot of German content on them): https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language

Thanks for sharing the guide. Collecting German/English movies/shows too.
Not many trackers available though.
But there are some decent one-click hosting websites out there for such content. And Usenet has a good german movie community.

Which one-click hosting websites are good for German content at the moment?

I'd be interested in such a guide. For a friend. He pays for Rapidgator to direct download from Mygully and such and I hate to see it because most uploaders are in it for the money and their preferred hosting companies change often due to which has the biggest payout at the time.

What does he need, how to set it up, what does it cost alltogether.

It really depends on what he needs and want to achieve. I host a Jellyfin (FOSS Plex) instance for me and some friends so I pay around 10€ for a VPS + 50€ per month for 20TB storage at hetzner alone (can't host at home because I only get 50k upload), but he most like won't need that if he is just hosting it at home for himself.

So assuming it's just him or people in his household using what he needs is:

a PC/Laptop/Homeserver/Raspberry Pi/Toaster with enough storage to host everything
Free Software: Sonarr & Radarr & SABnzbd to automatically find movies, shows and download them*
Optional: a free media server like Jellyfin
A Usenet provider. There is a lot of info on this if you look for it but for a beginner I'd recommend frugal Usenet for 40$ a year if he is mostly downloading new stuff:

If he is also downloading a lot of older (think 10+ years) stuff he should get ewaka for 48€/year (or keep an eye out for the 36€ year deal that pops up sometimes):

A Usenet indexer. scenenzbs.com costs 15-20€/year and is THE must have indexer for German content right now. Additionally, Drunkenslug(private, but lot's of invites going around) or nzbgeek (public) are great for english content and also do have some German stuff. They also cost 15-20€/year. To start sceneNZBs should be enough though.

Let me know if you/he needs more info or guides, but like I said it really depends on what his setup is supposed to be in the end

*edit: of course you can also skip Sonarr & Radarr and just search on scenenzbs.com by hand.

The first question would be if you have any experience in torrenting in general and private trackers in particular?

Some trackers are notorious hard to join or even completely closed, however others have open signups or application signups. You are also missing some German private trackers in your list.

Some German private trackers like the already mentioned World-of-Tomorrow or SpeedTorrent Reloaded or The Shinning allow application signup, if you are already experienced in trackers. For other trackers like Immortuous one can signup on their forums and apply for an invitation. Just visit their sites and look for an application/signup link.

Your question is too generic to provide more helpful answers.

You may apply for wot (world of tomorrow) here

All other public facing private trackers have such an application procedure. Just apply with a good record from somewhere else. If you get access to a tracker where you don't like the content, take it as a stepping stone to get into a better tracker. Work your way up. It doesn't take too much. Easiest is to get a server to seed 24/7 . You also don't want to be in every tracker. It's just not neccessary.
