Look at www.numbeo.org to get cost of living information.
A foreign student in Germany should have a minimum of EUR800/month to survive - but you cannot have a good life with that (the official poverty line is EUR870/month).
Foreign students can work a limited number of hours in jobs related to their studies. You cannot earn your living that way! (Besides, studies are meant to be full-time, so your results will suffer if you work.)
