Working student and side business?
Hello,
I've been looking around on the internet for a long time and haven't found a clear answer, maybe someone here can help me.
I'm a student, work 20 hours a day, and now I'd like to become self-employed as a sole proprietor. Is there anything wrong with that? Is there anything specific I need to consider, and do I need to inform my employer, even though my self-employment has absolutely nothing to do with my current job?

One is an employment relationship (albeit a special one), and the other is your self-employment. In principle, there's nothing wrong with either.
As long as you are classified as self-employed on a part-time basis, you can take out student health insurance during your studies (which automatically includes long-term care insurance). Part-time employment refers to a registered business that is not carried out as a full-time or main occupation. The law defines 15 hours of work per week as the boundary between a part-time business and a full-time occupation.
A business must be registered for any self-employed activity that you pursue on a permanent basis to earn money. However, there are exceptions, the so-called "liberal professions." These include freelance academic work, artistic and journalistic jobs, and certain personal services that require "higher education."
There's a 20-hour limit. Does that have any impact on self-employment?
What do you think?
Possibly a threshold beyond which they would no longer be considered a full-time student or even be billed as such for health insurance purposes. It must be said that, yes, anyone who works 30 hours a week is likely no longer "just" a student, but soon a regular working person, and should then generally be treated as such.
Apart from the previously possibly free family insurance, your parents will lose their entitlement to child benefit for you, as the 20-hour weekly limit will be exceeded: you are more employed than a student and thus lose your student status :-((
