I think the best thing you can do is study anything art related ... not necessarily with digital art elements.
"Visuelle Kommunikation mit Schwerpunkt Illustration"
sounds interestiong to me.
For many art related schools you'll need a portfolio.
There are ateliers that have courses where you create pieces for such a portfolio.
I know one girl that takes such courses.
Her images totally rock and she learns the important basics there.
It might be expensive ... but I think that it is worth it.
I'd go to such an atelier if I was serious about digital art.
As you learn about art in general you can work on digital art on your own.
Forums like this one and especially Conceptart.org are a big help.
Maybe try to get advice from one of the amazing Germans there.
Robolus for example.

Don't tell them I said that though
