Working as a psychologist in Germany

Hi!
I am currently living in Norway and working as a psychologist. My boyfriend lives in Munich. We are hoping to live together by the end of this year and are in the process of researching options. I'd love to come to Munich to live and work, but I realise that it might be difficult. It might make more sense for my boyfriend to come to Norway. But I'm keeping an open mind and hopes high :)

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the job market for psychologists in Germany, and perhaps even in Munich? Are there many jobs, or is it difficult to find one? What is the average salary?

Also, I am currently not speaking german, although in the process of learning. Would there be any chances of finding a psychology job without speaking german? I fluently speak English, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Faroese.

My psychology degree is from Denmark (undergraduate from Scotland). I know I need to research this topic more to get more knowledge, but does anyone have experience in having a degree in psychology from outside of Germany and getting a job as a psychologist in Germany?

Any answers would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,
Eyd

I don't know much about the specific situation but I simply googled psychologist jobs in Munich and got the following results. I have no idea how reliable these sites are but there are ones that specialize in English language jobs for professionals. A quick glance at what they were offering were mostly management or consulting jobs for corporations rather than work directly as a psychologist. The last link is actually from an English speaking psychologist presenting his services in Munich, which might give you some ideas or maybe he could even be someone to contacts for tips.
