Hi Hannes, your approach seemed to be the easiest one, so I gave it a try first!
I installed QGIS 3.26 via flatpak (unfortunately it is a little unstable this way, but I'll try different options) and then the Vector Tiles Reader. Loads the maps in seconds and works like a charm together with the maps from maptiler.com!! Thank you all a lot - finally it was so easy. Going to set up a nice style next. Cheers!

For your use case I would definitely recommend a vector tile solution as you would have to store a LOT of tiles for a high-zoom raster tile store. Upgrade your QGIS to something from this decade, maybe via Anaconda if using the official repos does not work. This is crucial for vector tiles! Then use the Vector Tiles Reader plugin to load a vector tile mbtile file (and style) or try drag and drop again, which should work in milliseconds for an unstyled display. Openmaptiles files should work fine if you don't want to build your own (try planetiler if you do). Tangential: When you say "importing" shapefiles from geofabrik.de, what do you mean? Loading them in QGIS for a small area definitely should not take minutes but seconds unless your system is struggling by itself already :o) If Germany is your main focus, you could also download the mapproxy caches from https://gdz.bkg.bund.de/index.php/default/wmts-topplusopen-wmts-topplus-open.html (warning, they are named .mbtile but are NOT ready-to-go files in the MBTiles standard) and run a local mapproxy. The Webmercator/EPSG:3857 mbtile files can be used in QGIS if you rename them to .mbtiles. Cheers, Hannes
