But how would you make it there without being incorporated? Or does this applies to have an LLC only? How would you issue invoices to your first customers without having a legal entity?

In Germany, you don't need a separate legal entity for that. The legal entity is you, as a person. (Also called Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts, GbR, or Einzelkaufmann, depending on the details.)
