Late add: You could also just buy a sim from any other country in the EU and just roam. Most countries don't care if you roam forever with their cards.
Maybe Freank is an Option.
https://fraenk.de/ it is a brand from the German Telekom.
Also sim.de, deutschlandsim.de or winsim.de (a brand from 1&1 Telekom) has a good deal
A other Option is a SIM card from a supermarket like Aldi, Penny, Netto, Kaufland
Some supermarkets here offer their own sim cards as well, either with a plan or prepaid. Aldi Talk is pretty popular and yeah data is expensive here in Germany. The lobby is strong, in eastern Europe phone plans are much much cheaper
I also recommend Aldi-Talk. They have a variety of plans and offer in my opinion the best value if you want to keep monthly spending low. It's prepaid, so no yearly subscription. Afaik the SIM itself is free. Only issue: setting up the account to automatically withdraw money is quite a hassle. But you can buy codes similar to paysafe cards (do they still exist?). Note: That was a few years ago, might have changed by now.
I use simplyTel and am pretty happy: https://www.simplytel.de/
Also, I feel way out of touch. I have 3 GB and very rarely reach the limit.
I am using https://www.simonmobile.de/
They offer good coverage (D Netz, not O2 which does not work great where I am working) and you can terminate the contract at the end of every month, so no 2 year contract. 9€ for 12GB of data plus phone flatrate.
