2I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not about academia. You can probably receive this type of information from the German embassy in your country.– Massimo OrtolanoMar 11, 2016 at 17:24

Student in Germany here. Germany is divided into "federal lands". You'll need certain amount of €€€ on the account for the student visa and then a certain amount of €€€ for residence permit later on. Exact amount for the residence permit depends on the land. In Schleswig Holstein, it's 670€/month, but again, it will depend on what local government decides, because federal government gives visas and local government gives residence permits.– AndrejaKoMar 11, 2016 at 17:31

Hi @AndrejaKo: I am asking about the amount of money one needs to deposit for moving. Like below link mentions its 7,908 Euros. study-in.de/en/plan-your-studies/requirements/…– Fahad UddinMar 11, 2016 at 17:34

2Here's a link supporting what @AndrejaKo wrote: internationale-studierende.de/fragen_zur_vorbereitung/einreise/… "Die deutschen Behörden gehen dabei von einem bestimmten Mindestbetrag aus, den Sie im Monat zur Verfügung haben müssen. Dieser liegt zurzeit bei 670 Euro pro Monat, das sind insgesamt 8040 Euro für das erste Studienjahr. Allerdings können eventuell auch höhere Nachweise verlangt werden. [...] Erkundigen Sie sich unbedingt bei der deutschen Botschaft in Ihrem Land, in welcher Form Sie den Nachweis erbringen müssen!"– bersMar 11, 2016 at 21:59

Your own link to Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, the German Academic Exchange Service, is under the auspices of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The 8700 Euro is an estimate, based on the average amounts students need to cover food, accommodation, transportation, books, and the like.
Deutsches Studentenwerk confirms:
In order to obtain a visa, you must prove that you can finance your studies. At least the first year of your studies must be fully funded. The German authorities assume a certain minimum amount that must be available in the month. At the moment this is 720 Euro per month, which is a total of 8640 Euro for the first year of study. However, higher proofs may also be required.
However, there may be additional fees/tuition associated with Masters and PhD degrees and Masters Portal has resources to help you estimate what those might be.
