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.

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

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.
