Move a US TV to Europe? Don't bother, won't work.

While you could technically make it work with satelite, there's no point, it
would be cheaper to sell it and just buy a TV in Germany.

AFAIK, Germany uses only PAL B/G, not Secam - at least it did when I
lived there about 7 years ago.
Secam B/G was used in the former GDR, but I think those areas have long
since been converted to PAL since the entry of capitalism.

Yes, with a NTSC to PAL scan convertor...........

Most of the modern TV-Sets that could bought here in Europe
are multimode TV-Sets, they can used with nearly all PAL-Norms,

That is NOT the case.
VCR's are a different matter, and are often multi-mode in playback mode.

It is the case in the UK, except for the really cheap ones.

However I think the original poster was from the US? Their TVs and VCRs
are rarely multi standard.

NTSC and SECAM as well. They automatically swiches to the right norm.

Has anyone encountered a multi-system TV that correctly identifies
PAL60 mode? My Sanyo CPP3250 detects 60Hz and switches to NTSC - it
doesn't look at the colour carrier frequency. I've had to modify the
jungle IC with a manual override switch.
