Since, according to your initial post, you planned special repayments for the KfW, you should calculate carefully. For example, making special repayments of €5,000 each year on the regular loan saves a lot of interest. If you manage this for, say, 10 years, you save more through the special repayments than through the lower interest rate.

Yes, exactly, that's why definitely the special repayment right. At least if it is somehow realistic that you can make special repayments.

I see it a little differently. The problem is the unknown after 10 years if the KFW loan is not fully repaid. In the best case, the annuity loan is fixed for 20-30 years. Interest rate adjustment is possible after 10 years. But for that, it is better to pay off the KFW loan during the first 10 years. If the interest rate in 10 years is between 5-10%, it doesn't matter to you. But if you have to refinance 50k+ the interest costs can be unnecessarily high. I think you have to do some back and forth calculations to see what is more worthwhile. Since I am an absolute cautious person, it would be more important to me to have the first loan paid off after 10 years.

That’s how we also calculated back and forth.. Since you cannot make special repayments on the KfW loan, it will be difficult for you to have the KfW loan at zero directly after 10 years - unless after 10 years you suddenly pour tens of thousands of euros into it and repay it (but then you have "unnecessarily" parked the money somewhere, which in my opinion makes no sense).

I would rather split the bank loan into different interest rate fixed components.

For example, 1 loan with €120,000 or so with 10 years fixed interest and then try to put all the special repayments into this loan (additionally set a generally high monthly repayment here) For example, 1 loan with the remaining amount (or possibly split again) with 20-30 years fixed interest (if that is desired) and then only repay this with about 1% for the first 10 years (if that is possible, we had it renegotiated accordingly).

This way you can hopefully fully repay one loan after 10 years, let the rest run calmly because you have secured the interest rates and your monthly rate will then also decrease accordingly.

It’s a lot of calculations that you definitely have to do yourself... Not a single advisor made the effort and calculated it for us the way we would have liked.

Exactly that is what I have noticed so far. The advisors have a routine “template” and apply it to every financing. You also have to say it’s not their money but yours. Whether you end up paying 5-10k more for the loan unfortunately doesn’t interest most. Many individual loans are also a lot of work and work is no fun. But I find your solution very good, especially since you can probably save the KfW in the end and only one bank will be registered in the land register.

Did you finance with an independent advisor? I would be interested because you were able to negotiate so much.
