You're technically right that germany doesn't print euros, the ECB does. But your conclusion is still wrong: germany isn’t remotely close to bankruptcy, and equating its situation with Argentina or Greece misunderstands both monetary sovereignty and how the Eurozone functions. As to how freely a country, especially germany, can print money: German government bonds are one of the most sought after, because risk free bonds of all. If it really wants, it can sell as many as it wants; because it has such a strong economic power behind it.

I'm sorry but yes, this is literally how it works. Please go look it up, this is vital for this discussion that you understand how money is generated. The german government bonds are one of the most wanted bonds in the world.
