Same here. And I also don't know the exact details. I just give the annual letter I receive with the amount I paid for the Insurance to the Steureberater  and i am done.

Ah ok. It is complicated, f.ex if I am not mistaken, if you have a Rürup Renteversicherung in the beginning an amount of around 92% of the total is deductible and it increases yearly until it reaches 100% up to an amount. Again for details i think someone more knowledgeable can answer.   For health insurance i am pretty sure that it is not 100% deductible only a percentage, maybe  this can help: https://welcome-center-germany.com/health-insurance-for-self-employed-and-freelancers-in-germany   Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will answer you. 

There are actually a lot of deductibles, depending on the line of freelancing work you do, the insurances you have, if you have a home office, tools/equipment for work, if you take german lessons, if you have a work car, etc etc. My advice is obviously get a tax advisor ( I use Expattax, that I found here, for the past 11 years with only possitive things to say) . To get a rough overview of possible deductibles check here f.ex : https://www.accountable.de/en/blog/7-handy-tax-deductions-for-freelancers-in-germany/   Good luck

Mascarpone has about 40gr of fat, you can use if from a more decadent Cheesecake. It lacks on acidity in comparison to Cream Cheese but it's creamier. You can also mix Mascarpone with a 25-27gr Cream cheese and achieve a similar fat content with the american cream cheese.

    Haha no worries. The library is here : https://goo.gl/maps/ekW3mdbXZ18mmevL7 We usually buy at Erdkorn Bio Market which is close to it and that is why we switched. No, photograpy is just a hobby. I am a Software Engineer/IT Consultant.

Thank you Panda, I was about to export the Library list myself   It is good, many times more than one languages available and/or subtitles and lots of quality movies and dokus.   Another useful site (especially if you have many streaming services like I do), is this one: https://www.werstreamt.es/ to check who is streaming or where you can buy a title you are looking for.    

That is why I mentioned it, we had discussed in the past. when you were searching for house   We also had for Pinnerberg but preffered the one in Halstenbek.

Anytime. Also worth mentioning: https://www.filmfriend.de/en/home which has movies and documentaries and is completely free if you (or your children) have a participating library's card. (f.ex the Halstenbek library were my kids have cards is participating)

Gambatte you also mentioned Dokus, a less know streaming app is Curiosity. It only has Dokus and if you don't care about 4K they still have an offer for 12 USD for a year until 16.1   https://curiositystream.com/   The app is also available for Smart TVs, Fire TV etc.
