Where to Find German Dubbed Movies Online and Offline<\/h2>\n

Finding movies dubbed into German is not always as easy as it should be, given the fact that in our modern world everything is connected. However, here are some of the ways you can find them.<\/p>\n

DVDs and Blu-rays with German soundtrack<\/h3>\n

Amazon.com<\/a><\/h4>\n

Amazon offers a wide collection of DVDs and Blu-ray discs of which some have German voice tracks. You can find them via the Amazon advanced search<\/a>. Here you can choose German under “Language audio tracks” and hit search. For me it yielded over 32,000 results, however, not all movies that show up actually offer German as a language. Always make sure to read the product description before ordering.<\/p>\n

eBay.de<\/a><\/h4>\n

eBay Germany also sells many movies in the native language. Lots of sellers will also ship worldwide. Make sure you pick the destination country in the upper right corner of the search results. Of course the website itself is in German, so you need some language proficiency (or a browser that automatically translates web pages) to order movies from here.<\/p>\n

Buy movies locally<\/h4>\n

If you have the opportunity to go to a German-speaking country, you can then merely walk into a store and get a supply of your favorite movies with German dubbing and take them back home. Or, if you have German friends, ask them to get some for you and send them via mail.<\/p>\n

Note: Beware of the region code.<\/strong> DVDs and Blu-ray discs come with a region code which only allows them to be played on certain players. There are ways to get around this code and there are also region code-free discs as well as players. However, make sure that you will actually be able to play the movies you are about to buy in order to avoid frustration.

Video-on-demand services<\/h3>\n

The second option are online services that allow you to buy or rent movies in digital form for download, or even let you stream them directly. These are becoming more and more common, and several offers exist in Germany. However, not many of them are available outside of the country due to licensing reasons.<\/p>\n

There are ways to get around it with the help of VPN<\/strong> services. Essentially, a VPN makes it appear as if you\u2019re using the internet elsewhere rather than the United States (or wherever you are). By using a VPN service like HideMyAss! VPN<\/a><\/strong>, you can access content as if you were in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.<\/p>\n

This is great for everything that’s available to stream online for free. However, in pretty much all cases with paid<\/em> video services you will still have to provide a German billing address, credit card or other way of proving you are inside the country. If you can do that, these services let you watch any dubbed movie you want.<\/p>\n
