The question even is if i can vote for the pirates in my region. So far i haven't even seen the slightest bit of voting information for the upcoming vote.

Well nearly no information. I had a flyer for the SPD Senior Citizen Group in my mailbox...

Last time there was a UK election I had 2 flyers. Nobody came knocking.

Fortunatly in this day and age you can do your own research

I've been looking for a while for a good summary of how to vote that I could link to people, but not even on europa.eu do they have that, which really speaks for itself. If anyone knows of a good source, I'd love to know about it.

https://www.european-elections.eu/ is linked on europa.eu

Ah, I had seen that page multiple times, but was confused that it only presented the options "in ireland" and "in malta".

I now found out that I have to scroll to the bottom and select Germany there. Weird.

The selection is based on the display language. If you're a native English speaker voting in the upcoming election, you're aussumed to be voting either in your home country (Ireland or Malta are the only ones where English is official) or "abroad", which is the third option. German speakers would be expected to visit https://www.europawahl.eu/ instead.
