Don't waste your time worrying about school too much. Make sure you get into things like https://www.deutsche-schuelerakademie.de or http://www.deutsche-juniorakademien.de.

(Their Alumni organisation (http://www.cde-ev.de/) is actually open for everybody, and I can only recommend joining. https://mind-hochschul-netzwerk.de/ is also worth a look.)

Wow! This is great! I've already been to a so-called "Ferienseminar für besonders begabte und interessierte Schülerinnen und Schüler", an event I've been invited to and which I can only recommend, but these links are great! Thank you! Since I'm doing an additional test, I'll try getting into some of these programmes.

Oh, none of these programmes are tests. If you a into that kind of thing, you should also compete in the Mathematik-Olympiade (and physics and chemistry olympiad, too). There are also Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik and Bundeswettbewerb Informatik, that are fun to take part in.

Drop me a line (email in profile), if you want to learn more. I grew up in Germany, but ended up all over the world, currently I'm in Singapore.
