UPSes aren't meant to keep things running for long periods of time.
If you're trying to keep things on for hours, you need a generator. Then the UPS just needs to keep things running until the generator comes online.
I suspect it'll be a lot cheaper to get a small generator than it would be to buy enough UPS and batteries to run things for multiple hours.

Germany.
I don't. Can't remember a power outage ever except for shorting our connection box :)
Besides that only some internet outages of our ISP but that is also very rare today.
Edit: At work we sell 750VAh to our customers which are usually very small in demand and workload
OP just needs a really long extension cord plugged into a German outlet.
