### Create Professional German Invoices in Minutes

Generating compliant German invoices (Rechnungen) doesn't have to be complicated. This **German Invoice Template** includes all mandatory fields required under German tax law (Umsatzsteuergesetz - UStG) and commercial regulations, helping freelancers, small businesses, agencies, and consultants create professional invoices that meet legal requirements.

#### Why Use This Template?

This template is designed for:

 - **Freelancers and consultants** working with German clients who need compliant invoicing
