What's available

Amazon Prime Video in Germany gives you access to a solid library of both local and international content. You get the full lineup of Amazon Originals, including The Boys, Reacher, Fallout, The Rings of Power, and Jack Ryan. German-language originals like Der Schwarm and Deutschland 83 are also available. On the film side, you'll find a rotating selection of Hollywood blockbusters and licensed titles alongside Prime's exclusive movies.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, the German catalogue has some notable gaps. Several licensed films cycle out faster or never appear at all. Titles like A Quiet Place Part II, certain seasons of Bosch: Legacy, and older studio libraries are either missing or delayed. Sports content through Prime Video, including some NFL Thursday Night Football coverage, is also limited or unavailable. Regional licensing means you may find that specific episodes or spin-off content simply aren't there when you go looking.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Amazon Prime Video thinks you're browsing from a different country. This gives you access to larger libraries, including the US catalogue.

  • Download and install a VPN — we recommend NordVPN as the most reliable option for streaming
  • Connect to a US server to access the American Prime Video library
  • Connect to a UK server if you want access to British-licensed content
  • Open Amazon Prime Video after connecting and browse the expanded catalogue

NordVPN consistently unblocks Prime Video across multiple server locations and offers fast enough speeds to stream in HD or 4K without buffering.

Pricing

Amazon Prime in Germany costs €8.99 per month or €89.90 per year. This includes Prime Video alongside other Prime benefits like free shipping. A standalone Prime Video subscription is available for €5.99 per month if you only want the streaming service.

Our recommendation

If you're in Germany and happy watching Amazon Originals, the local Prime Video library offers good value at its price point. However, if you want access to the full US catalogue — including exclusive licensed films and broader content — connecting through NordVPN to a US server is the easiest solution. It takes under two minutes to set up and makes a noticeable difference in what's available to you.
