==== RULES ====
Normal Sudoku rules apply : Fill the grid with digits 1 to 9 appearing each exactly once in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Normal Kropki dots : Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a 1:2 ratio.
Hidden tip thermometers : Along thermometers, digits strictly increase from the bulb to the tip. In every connecting line between two thermo bulbs, there is a hidden, common thermo tip, which is not on a bulb (all thermos are at least 2-cell long).
Solution code: Digits from row 5 (left to right), then digits from column 5 (top to bottom). No Space char, 18 digits total.

Very nice puzzle indeed. Took me way longer than I would like to admit to finish, but definitely a very nicely constructed puzzle. Keep up the great work!

also hat jedes(!) Thermometer eine versteckte Spitze, die außerhalb der Linien ist?
@SKORP17 : Die Spitze jedes Thermometers befindet sich auf der Linie, aber nicht auf der Glühbirne.
danke, das hatte ich falsch verstanden
