We are looking into retiring in Germany, but our kids will be 19 and 17. Is there any difference in applying to a German university as a US resident versus as a US retiree living in Germany?

Depending on the University some have slightly higher fees for foreign student while, others have extremely high fees for Ausländers. If you apply for a family residence permit your children might get a free pass to University. They also have different requirements for entering Universities if you are coming from a different system like the American or Canadian system. The only way to know is by sending inquires to Universities of interest.
