220/240 volt (double that in the USA). The critical thing to know is the frequency. In the States it is 60 Hz and in Europe is is 50 Hz (Hertz). This is important because anything with a motor and a power cable will be frequency dependant. Leave any device at home in the US when traveling or moving to Europe as it will not work if the motor is a 110/120 volt motor. For example, Washer Dryer, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer. Thing like a tape player, stereo, CD Player with a wall plug will work fine because inside the 110 unit it converts all electricity to a DC voltage so a typical voltage convert from 220 to 110 will do fine with these devices. On the other hand an item like a Hair Dryer is a 110 volt motor and cannot survive a 50 Hz attack and will burn up.

You can by voltage converters in Germany when you get there.

What is the relationship between static electricity and voltage?

Static electricity is a buildup of electric charge on an object, while voltage is the measure of electric potential difference between two points. The relationship between static electricity and voltage is that static electricity can create a voltage difference when there is a buildup of charge, leading to the potential for electrical discharge or sparks.
