220/240 volt (double that in the USA). The critical thing to know is the frequency. In the States it is 60 Hz and in Europe is is 50 Hz (Hertz). This is important because anything with a motor and a power cable will be frequency dependant. Leave any device at home in the US when traveling or moving to Europe as it will not work if the motor is a 110/120 volt motor. For example, Washer Dryer, Refrigerator, Hair Dryer. Thing like a tape player, stereo, CD Player with a wall plug will work fine because inside the 110 unit it converts all electricity to a DC voltage so a typical voltage convert from 220 to 110 will do fine with these devices. On the other hand an item like a Hair Dryer is a 110 volt motor and cannot survive a 50 Hz attack and will burn up.

You can by voltage converters in Germany when you get there.

Why is electricity reduced before it enters houses?

Electricity is reduced from high voltage to lower voltage before entering houses for safety reasons. High voltage electricity poses a greater risk of electrical shock and damage to appliances, so it is necessary to reduce the voltage to a level that is safe for household use. Additionally, lower voltage electricity is more suitable for powering household appliances and electronics.
