Unauthorized background information on rank, conditions and pay:

A professor position at the C3 level usually is a tenured position
with civil servant (Beamten-) status. Gross salary depends on age,
marital status and number of children.

C3 is the second highest professor rank at German Universities,
roughly equivalent with Associate Professor.

The equivalent of a habilitation (German Second Doctorate) is
roughly comparable to fulfilling tenure requirements at an American
University.

Application papers may be submitted in English. The c.v. must
contain the birth date including year of birth. Application or c.v.
must contain full address information, including phone and fax
numbers.

German language proficiency is desirable but not required. In the
beginning of the employment, courses may be taught in English.
However, it is expected that the necessary language skills for
teaching in German will be acquired in due time.
