      I feel offended that you seem to be right, because I’m a German and I rarely heat at all.

      Yeah I was going to ask, what is proper indoor temperature for Germany anyway, like 18°C?

        No… the minimum requred temperature for everyone I know complaining about those “the evil government wants to ban heating!”-fairy tales wide spread in Germany is 23°-25°C at least or they will instantly start freezing to their deaths somehow.

        There is no official proper indoor temperature, but the courts settled at > 20 °C in the day and > 18 °C in the night as “normal”. If it’s not possible to achieve this temperature, the tenant has the right to withhold part of the rent as long as the heating is not fixed. But tenants are allowed to have their appartment as cold as they like as long as they don’t grow mold.

      You need to put on the heater in many homes because otherwise you will get mold. It depends on the house, of course. Doesn’t matter how much you cross ventilate. :(
