French more important for career than Spanish
Despite the growth of Spanish in German schools, French is considered more advantageous for many career aspirations.

Spanish is becoming increasingly popular in German schools, but the choice of a foreign language can have far-reaching professional consequences. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, many factors support the decision to choose French as a second foreign language.
Particularly in professions that require direct contact with French-speaking countries, French offers significant advantages. Despite the growing demand for Spanish, the relevance of French in the business world remains undisputed.
