Ok, then the conditions are pretty much bad. The sun hits the terrace all day and it can also be quite windy. Too bad. I would find bamboo pretty cool. :(

There are varieties that are less sensitive. It's best to get advice from a specialist dealer (there are also some who specialize in bamboo). I am not very familiar with it yet. At the aforementioned neighbor's place, there is actually sun all day, and as I said, he has a small forest.

For my BV, I am also planning a bamboo hedge facing the street. That is actually very unfavorable because of sun and wind. But I will just try it. For me, it will probably take until autumn. Possibly with the outdoor facilities only next year. In that respect, if you are earlier, feel free to share your experience report...

Difficult. I assume the plants are supposed to be rather narrow. Grasses are narrow, do not need a trellis, can withstand wind and heat, but in spring they have to be cut back and then it takes time. Ivy, in my opinion, is indestructible, narrow, evergreen, needs a climbing aid, and grows vigorously. Orange blossom, maybe bamboo.

Since you don't mention a container, I would probably just try out different plants. Winter hardiness - what is hardy in the ground can freeze in a container despite protection. Wind - speaks against trellises (my rose pyramids have also been blown around several times recently, despite being secured). Various perennials, grasses, and plants create variety and also offer something pleasing to the human eye. If something breaks, you can then plant the container with another proven plant.

Could someone give me a recommendation here:

I would like to place a few plants on the roof terrace.
The plants should be able to overwinter outside in pots and above all also serve as a privacy screen in winter, meaning they should be evergreen all year round.

A height of 1.50-2.00m would be ideal.

What do you use for something like this?

Bamboo makes a mess! ... if it gets too dry, it quickly loses many leaves that then lie around everywhere. We have bamboo on the terrace and have now redirected the rain from the roof covering there.
Many things only look good on Pinterest or in the first year.

For plant containers, I would use simple planter boxes from Bauhaus. For example, "Elho Green Basics Pflanzkasten Garden XXL" 60x30x28cm with a capacity of 30L.

If bamboo makes that much mess, it is probably rather unsuitable. In summer, it is hardly bearable up there. I'm afraid there will be a huge mess if you forget to water... :(

No matter what you plant, larger containers are best with a water reservoir like e.g. Lechuza. Norma also has some (are cheaper). 30 liters is not much, you should water at least 2x a day.
