Hi, anyone knows how to open German stock market account? What is the best broker to open? thank you in advance.

Almost any German bank offers such services - just ask at one of your choice!
Note: To my knowledge, you must be resident in Germany to ppen a German brokerage account. If at all there is a way around this, it’s going to be complicated. So if you reside abroad, you are better advised to open a brokerage account in your country that allows trading in German stocks - at least within the EU this is very common.

Your profile says you are German citizen, so my note about residency does not apply to you!

This is really the kind of thing one should google rather than relying on someone’s opinion. Most brokerage transactions still run over the banks in Germany despite a normal commission of 5% on most transactions. But they claim they are giving “full service” which means they make recommendations, something from my experience is usually worthless. The modern approach is to find an online discount brokerage platform. They are still regulated but one will want some extra level of safety that they are not a fly by night operation. Besides security, easy of usage might outweigh a slight difference of commission levels. Without endorsing or guaranteeing accuracy, I am posting below a few results for comparisons of such services I came up with by googling “discount brokerage Germany”.

"easy of usage" should read "ease of usage"...
