German Email Provider for Geeks?

Question

In the light of the recent announcement of Google Apps closing, I started to look for providers.I had a look at the typical ones (fastmail, zoho, protonmail) and recall that in a comment, some 2-3 years ago, someone mentioned a German provider rather directed to geeks. If I remember correctly it is ran by a team of people passionate about mail.Does that ring a bell?

Does it need to be free? Posteo is said to be quite good, ad-free, anonymous and cheap at only 1€/month.

I just looked up how they make paid services and anonymity go together and they have a page about it here:

If you are using exclusively the web interface (non POP/IMAP) then you can look at these two privacy-oriented:
https://protonmail.com/
https://tutanota.com/
Proton is located in Switzerland and Tutanota in Germany. If you need POP3/IMAP then:

I am a rather happy fastmail user, with my custom domain. The service is fine but Australia's privacy record is worsening increasingly fast, so at this point I would avoid fastmail if privacy is a concern.
