I'm not a programmer myself, but I do know about CS graduates working as 'IT consultants' in Germany doing actual programming work getting around 50-60k EUR/year, fresh out of college, before bonuses.
to be noted, the salary variation in Germany is actually quite huge with Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg (and some other high salary areas) being at the top. in some rural areas you might only get half the pay as in these metropolian areas.
