Why is Education free in Germany for international students?

Hey folks,

As an incoming international student, I’m puzzled by why there are no tuition fees for us. Germany offers some of the best education in the world, so I’m curious why someone like me—who doesn’t pay taxes or contribute to the German economy—gets to benefit from this. Is there a catch or a reason behind this policy? How do Germans feel about their tax money supporting international students? Regardless, I truly admire your culture and country.

because those who relocate here typically remain here or at the very least have a favorable opinion of Germany.
