i'm based in Germany with a FAA-PPL ASEL.
It's very interesting to read the differences in IFR-Flying in the
States and in Germany. Although the two countries are "ICAO-countries"
they are not
participating in same air work to each other.

If you think Germany and the US are different, try crossing the border into
other European countries. Of all of them the airspace system in Germany is
most like the US, and the UK is probably at the opposite extreme. Here we
have mostly class A and class G, with little between. IFR flight in class G
is something we do every day -- there's not a lot of choice.

Good luck if you choose to do the IR.
