Apple's Website Hints at Apple Pay Coming to Germany

In this article: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027 updated on the 18th, they mention Prepaid Cards as an option to add. I only say:Sparkassen-Card. Come on Apple, hurry up
Not going to happen. EC cards are normally outdated. The one that will support Apple Pay first will be N26 for sure.
I am talking about the EC Cards which will never be supported by Apple Pay. In other countries people use Debit Cards which work exactly like Credit Cards but limited to your balance like the one of N26. I went to the Deutsche Bank once and asked about Debit Cards like other online banks offer in Germany, they told me that it may come sometime in the future but not really cause people still love cash and EC Cards.
Anyway there is a new article on 9to5mac which says that Apple Pay will launch tommorow in Spain, spain's pages were also translated the same at the same date as the German pages so fingers crossed for a launch tommorow.
This is so true! We love you Germany - biggest consumer market in Europe and 50 years behind the times in the payments world!!

Sounds rather dramatic! Possibly an exaggeration...?

Controversial!!good thing Franken is not Bavaria
German stores take cards...just not anything other than German debit cards. The 50 years behind characterization is probably closer to what the US actually is (though is finally getting better).

But there is still written "Credit Card" but it is "Kreditkarte" in German and Contact Bank instead of Bank kontaktieren for example.
The same holds true for Italy: https://support.apple.com/it-it/HT201469 Credit Card= carta di credito

Some pages received an update on Valentine's Day. I came to the conclusion that, first of all this link has to go "online": https://www.apple.com/de/apple-pay/
Can´t find the Link:https://www.apple.com/de/apple-pay/ in the Support-Search anymore! But this:

I hope, that the launch is in the works. Landingpage for Apple Pay is gone, as I wrote. The entry for the Apple Pay Community is new. And those pages: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT205583 https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT201239 were updated yesterday.
Not all the pages have been translated into Dutsch yet. On the other hand no big deal for the Dutch.
I found this in the Dutch Search, with Dutch description: https://discussions.apple.com/community/apple_pay
And other stuff... So let us hope together.
