Has anyone else had issues submitting their German citizenship application through the Hamburg online portal?

I've completed the entire application, uploaded all the required documents, and every mandatory field is filled in. But when I get to the final step (submitting the application and paying the fee), I always get an error saying: "The data could not be transferred."

I've already called the hotline a couple of times. They suggested trying a different browser and disabling my ad blocker, but I've tried all of that and the same error still appears.

Has anyone experienced this before or found a solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using this portal:

Moin moin,

I'm considering applying for a sailmaker (Segelmacher) apprenticeship in Germany, and I'd love to hear from people who work in the industry or have experience with this job.

At the moment I work as an graphic designer, but I'm thinking about changing careers because I enjoy making things with my hands and creating high-quality products. Agh im also 35 F if thats relevant.

I found an apprenticeship where the work includes sewing sails, boat covers (Persenninge), cushions, sun protection products, making patterns, cutting materials, and sometimes visiting customers to take measurements.

I have a few questions:

Is this a good career with a stable future in Germany?

Is it easy to find a job after finishing the apprenticeship?

What is the salary like after the apprenticeship and after a few years of experience?

Is there room to grow professionally or specialize?

Is the work interesting and varied, or does it become repetitive?

If you could choose again, would you still become a sailmaker?

Thank you in advance for your insights 😊
