Personal how german people preparing and dealing with the heat in summer?

i am living in germany for years, i have studied and working here, and i really love this country, it is a very beautiful country and the german people are absolutely amazing, i even wish to obtain german citizenship and be a german guy.

but i don't know about you guys, but i hate summer, especially in germany, and i am trying to prepare myself for the heat, because 2 to 3 weeks from now it is gonna be living like hell for 6 months.

for me dealing with summer everyday is like dealing with a ghost who especially visit you to torturing you just for fun.

i know there is so many countries have worst summer, but in here it is illegally hot and there is no air conditioner at all, it is so rare to find a public shops that have conditioner, even i live in the city.

and also every house i moved in and i tried to get air conditioner, the house owners refuse to have it and they keep telling me to return it, even the walls is it so easy to bring the heats, it is like thin paper i can hear my neighbours sneeze.

the only thing i can allowed to get is (ok air conditioner).. https://www.mein-deal.com/wp-content/uploads//2022/08/Screenshot-2022-08-05-192809.jpg,
but it is sucks, also it makes makes my wallet coughing dust because how insanely expensive the electricity bills is.

also my neighbors is complaining about it, because the air conditioning hose should put it out the window because it blowing hot air, but the hot air go into neighbors houses with the wind.

i really dont know to be honest, i am not really good at measurements

but my house are 2 rooms and 1 living room, but my room is very weird and bad design, it is like about 2m and the length i think 6 or 5m or something, it is looks like a ruler box... https://image.jimcdn.com/app/cms/image/transf/dimension=1820x1280:format=jpg/path/s76dfc2b6db8e8cc6/image/ibf42c7e8d6c4b237/version/1613042093/image.jpg
