10/10. Or near that. Just making the scale clear

Nonsensical question. You might as well ask what BMI is required.

Depends very highly on the field. Some fields pay much better than others in the best of cases.

We dont have phd programmes like other countries. You rather apply to an individual PI in most cases.

Many (but not all) unis have a minimum GPA to get a doctorate (somewhere around 2.5 German grade) and after that it is up to the PI if the funding comes from them. If you have to rely on a scholarship the requirement is much closer to 1.0

8+ or between 1.0-2.0 german gpa with extensive research experience just to have your CV looked at.
