Is a TAE socket no longer needed?

The wiring must always be done from a central point. It does not matter whether it is the basement or the [EG].

Okay, excuse my ignorance, but to be sure: If I now place the central location for patch panel, switch, and router in the utility room on the ground floor, what kind of cable do I run from the APL in the basement to the patch panel on the ground floor, and what kind of socket do I put in the utility room for connecting the patch panel?

The Telekom guideline distinguishes between „dsl Kabel“ and „Duplex lan Kabel“.

And, addition: If the utility room on the ground floor now becomes the central place from which all LAN cables run, then another empty conduit should be laid from the basement to there with a view to fiber optics or other technical developments, right?

Then you need an RJ45 socket in the basement and one in the utility room to bring the "DSL" signal to the router. Connect the APL with the socket in the basement and the extra socket in the utility room with the router. The output from the router and everything else then goes into the switch.

You can do that, but you will hardly ever use it. That would only be considered if you install fiber optics within the house. That has nothing to do with the "fiber optic Internet," which ends at the APL (HÜP), and from there it continues classically via copper. Better to have the connection from basement to utility room as a double socket; that should be enough as a reserve.

This has nothing to do with the "fiber-optic internet," that would end at the APL (HÜP) and from there it continues classically via copper.

But only if the GF-TA is installed directly next to the HÜP. If the cable route is properly prepared, you can have the GF-TA built wherever you want. With most providers, 20m of fiber optic cable inside the house is included.

then another empty conduit should be laid from the basement to there with future fiber optic or other technical developments in mind, right?

Certainly not a disadvantage. But just search online for what requirements the fiber optic experts have for the cable route. Pipe size, pipe configurations, bending radii, …

I would approach the matter with a bit more planning.

- Basement: should the patch panel, switch, and the other devices be nailed to the wall or should everything go into a network cabinet?
- Living rooms: a double socket per room is already quite good, but TV or office might also need more. That way an additional one in the room can be avoided.
- Access points: of course, you can connect them to a normal network socket or designate a special place. For example, high up on a wall or on the ceiling. With POE no power outlet needs to be nearby, but these APs are more something from the enterprise area. One access point per floor should be used. Position depends on the floor plan.
- Cable installation: the best solution is to lay network cables exchangeably in a conduit. Because nothing is more future-proof than a sufficiently dimensioned empty conduit.
- Patch panel: always select a few ports bigger than the cables arriving. Over time, you tend to install more.
- Side rooms: besides the living rooms, hobby rooms or the garage should not be forgotten to be supplied with network.
- Wi-Fi in the garden: if this is desired, at least prepare the matter, because it is not always guaranteed that the Wi-Fi from the house also reaches the garden.

That's exactly right technically if you want to do it properly. Everything else is more or less makeshift solutions and if you can plan everything anew anyway, this is advisable. Take a look at the Unifi access points, they come from the business environment but are not that expensive. One on each floor in the hallway on the ceiling. They get power via PoE. In the basement then patch panel, router and switch. You can supply PoE to the access points via PoE injector or small PoE switch. Think of LAN cables on the terrace (for possibly outdoor access point), doorbell (in case you want to install a smart one at some point, also PoE), and possibly also for PoE cameras (if you want video surveillance outside). I don't think Wallbox is necessary, many have Wi-Fi. But you can also consider that.
