Half of it is payed by the employer. You pay around 7.5% of your income before taxes (up to a certain limit aka Beitragsbemessungsgrenze).

Many countries use this trick “payed by employer” trying to hide the real amount of taxes. 385€ does not sound that bad, but in the reality it’s twice that with another half “paid by employer”.
