No visa. German passport holders visit Türkiye visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180.

The Auswärtiges Amt says German citizens need no visa for stays of up to 90 days in 180 days, and that leaving for a day no longer restarts the 90 days. A passport, ID card or children's passport is accepted at entry; a passport needs at least 1 blank page.
