It may be of interest to some to know that BMW Bank are paying 3% on instant demand deposit for all business on deposits up to 50k with German bank guarantee protection. They will open accounts for non-residents with a caveat....you can only use a German current account as your reference account for making withdrawals. You will need to already have a German current account or set one up first. As I live here I already had a German current account but maybe N26 accounts opened from Ireland will work too as they are Berlin based? Idk about that though.
They are paying 3.5% on 12 month demand deposit accounts also. AFAIK this is the best rate (excluding introductory discounts) in Germany right now, by a fair margin. I opened an account a few weeks back and can't complain. Best place for my rainy day money I feel.

In the FAQ there's a pdf you can download for opening an account from abroad. The form is bilingual German/English.
