Apparently the average salary for a web developer in Germany is 38k Euros. Ref - https://www.payscale.com/research/DE/Job=Web_Developer/Salary
As for freelancing, I am not sure.

I would estimate somewhere between 70-100 Euros per hour for a freelance web designer. That is using figures for UK web designer employment as well as what I know freelance web designers charge in the UK, and then extrapolated to reflect the difference in pay between UK and Germany when it comes to web designer employment, as per the figures from the site I linked to.

No one will pay you 100€ for elementor or page builder klicking per hour as a freelance "gone like the wind "webdesigner when 21yo students do it for 20...

For a good developer however you can get around 60-80€ net
