r/de_EDV
general IT · ERP/SAP comes up regularly
Language: German · ~220,000 members · active
The largest German-language IT community on Reddit: “a German discussion, help and buying-advice subreddit around IT”. Its core is networking, careers and hardware, but ERP, SAP and business-software questions come up regularly – from “Is SAP development really that bad?” to picking software for small firms.
Einordnung: The closest thing to where the German community discusses ERP – but understand it as a general IT forum in which ERP is a recurring subtopic, not an ERP hub.

r/Selbststaendig
self-employed · software & inventory questions
Language: German · ~57,000 members · active
Community for the self-employed, freelancers and small companies in the DACH region. Alongside tax, legal and invoicing topics, suitable software comes up again and again: inventory management, accounting, invoicing and ERP tools for small firms.
Einordnung: A good place for software questions from a small-business angle – ERP is one of many practical topics.

r/Fachinformatiker
IT training & profession · ERP on the job
Language: German · ~13,000–15,000 members · active
Community for apprentices and professionals in the German IT trades (systems integration / application development): training, exams, salary and jobs. ERP implementation and operation appear as a job topic when the talk turns to company practice.
Einordnung: Relevant if you want the perspective of the people who administer and roll out ERP systems – ERP is a side topic here, not the core.

r/Unternehmer
entrepreneurs · processes & tools
Language: German · ~3,000 members · active
A smaller but active community “for entrepreneurs and those who want to become one”. Topics are founding, growth, processes and the tools behind them – business software and digitalisation come up regularly.
Einordnung: Small but on-topic for the entrepreneur view of processes and software – ERP as part of the toolkit.

r/informatik
computer science/study · ERP as a subject & career topic
Language: German · ~140,000 members · active
Large German-language community around computer-science study and interest. SAP and ERP appear as career and subject topics (entry, consulting, technologies), less from a user and more from a developer/study angle.
Einordnung: Interesting for the technical and career perspective on ERP/SAP – not for selection or user questions.

r/Steuern
taxes · touches ERP via DATEV & e-invoicing
Language: German · ~40,000–58,000 members · active
Active tax community around tax returns, deductibles and dealing with finance software. ERP touchpoints exist via DATEV, accounting software and the e-invoicing mandate – e.g. threads like “E-invoicing 2025 – how are you handling it?”.
Einordnung: ERP only at the edges, but the best German-language place for the finance/DATEV side of your system landscape.

r/Handwerker
trades · industry software at the edges
Language: German · ~99,000 members · active
Large community of German tradespeople. The core is hands-on trades topics; trades, quoting and job-management software appears sporadically when it comes to costing and running the business.
Einordnung: Weak for ERP/industry software, but relevant if you want the trades perspective on quoting and costing software.

r/Einzelhandel
retail · POS/inventory at the edges
Language: German · active
German-language retail community, mostly from an employee and everyday perspective (store, prices, customers). POS systems and inventory management are occasionally a topic, usually hands-on rather than from a selection angle.
Einordnung: ERP/inventory only at the edges – interesting for the shop-floor view of POS and inventory systems.

r/de
largest German community · ERP only occasionally
Language: German · ~3.2M members · active
The central German-language subreddit for everything around Germany and the DACH region. ERP is only an incidental side topic here (mostly as news), but it is the largest German-language community – useful just to gauge the reach of German-speaking Reddit discussion.
Einordnung: Not an ERP venue, but for completeness: the largest German-language community, where business and software topics surface occasionally.
