The minimum termination period for rental contracts in Germany is three months. Most places are advertised (and the better ones quickly taken) shortly after that. So you should be prepared to sign a rental contract several weeks to three months before you can move in. Anything below one months is unrealistic.
A roon in a WG will cost about €300-500/month (incl. utilities, which are often paid separately from the rent). More for furnished places (which are rare).
