Unlike many other countries, Germany so far only published the AIP IFR free of charge. The AIP VFR with the VFR charts was sold for a high price. This was critizised for years since this is important information for VFR flight operations.
Fortunately, this has changed now - you can see the AIP now under

High price? 69 Euros for a year. That’s half an hours worth of flying a SEP if you get a good rate.
Good it’s for free now, though.
Re: German AIP VFR now freely available
The price was 99 EUR, not 69. With Skydemon, you got the plates for 69 EUR, they have now reduced to 39 EUR which is reasonable given what you get.
Unfortunately, the times were 69 EUR were half an hour are gone - at least in EDLH I now have to pay more. Nevertheless a good change - safety relevant information should be freely accessible.
