Sorry, you can not work unless you are legal. I know this since my fiancee at the time stayed at home and could not get an authorization to work. You will need to file at least a civil marriage if you want to be allowed to work. The only exception might be on US military bases where you can find work under other laws than the EU immigration laws. Au-pair is also a solution. You could also be a language teaching assisstant but the salary is extremely low (lower than the minimum wage). Alternatively if you are highly qualified you could try to find an employer to sponsor your visa. You could also enroll to university which would allow you to work the equivalent of half-time. You can also try to bring a substancial amount of money and start your company (I hope you have a lot of cash then... the limit would be like 50 000รข‚¬)

Forget it. My son just spent 16 months looking for work in Germany and his mother is German. He finally gave up and returned to the states. Germany has been running at about 12% unemployment. Johan, my son was educated in German schools as he grew up in Germany with his mother. He returned to the States at the age of 25. He was here 5 years and returned to Germany, He could find Nothing. Nada , Nichts.

In Germany in homes as well in public places they sort their trash/recycling into 5 groups, Paper (packaging), Plastics, Glass, Cans, and Biodegradables. I had a friend get quite a lengthly lecture from a older German citizen when he put his paper in the plastic. I'm not sure how it affects the government but all of the people I've spent time with had no issue with sorting their recycling and my host family even enjoyed it because it was "good for the earth."

I think the Germany is doing okay in recycling the household trashes. However, they do have the problem of the trabant of four wheels can not be land-filled. These are Russian made cars that's come up with some political issues. I think the following website provides a good answer to your question. http://www.pbs.org/safarchive/4_class/45_pguides/pguide_402/4542_trabant.html

they recycle everything

I am in the recycling business in the US. Germany has the reputation to be ahead of the rest of the world in recycling. Europe has plans to build over a thousand recycling plants just for automobiles within the next 10 years.

You will need a 110wt converter cable or surge protector. Most of Germany's modern apartments, homes, and hotels to have a conversion to 220 with no problem, but if you are going to live in an older apartment or house (built before 1990) you will need to purchase converter cables or switches for them to work. I hope you have a wonderful time there. It is beautiful this time of year. I found this site for you and it may help some. http://www.german-way.com/electric.html

You need to check the TV is showing on the papers or at the back side is for 110 and 220. Than you can use it in Germany, with the computer is the same too, I have one and using with Adapter. Kitchen appliances you can't use it. In case you can use it all with Transformers, but not the Stove.
3 :
your TV wont work, BTW Germans pay a TV tax. PC-laptop or desktop? Most laptops auto power-shift from 110 to 220. just look on the charging unit, it will say something like 110-220 vac 50-60 hz. But you will need a new cord or an adapter for their wall outlets. Kitchen appliances are tricky. What appliances? Because they use 50 hz and we use 60 hz even with a transformer things with motors tend to run funny
4 :
If you have a modern TV that supports 50Hz-rates it will work. But for every device you'll need a plug adapter and a converter from 110V to 220V - then everything will work properly.
