I'm sorry you are in a shitty situation, but you have to understand that most taxes are being paid by people like you (middle-class job with wife/kid and mortgage, can't risk it and move or avoid taxes). You are correct about the 71% tax pressure (and it might be even higher). You are also correct about the weather (north Europe's weather is shit, depressing and lacks vitamin D).
But all of this doesn't matter. Remember, you are a man with a wife and a kid; and you are kind of limited because of that. (governments know that too, and that's why you are paying most of the taxes of society).
My opinion: Your problem is hardly moving to a different place. Any place is going to treat you the same because of your situation (exceptions happening). What you need to do, is figure your way out of the system and then branch remotely into a different system. You can then live in a country where you do not generate your stream of income; and not be too worried about their rules.
Say the following: You can land a remote job with $200k/year salary. Your wife is not quite interested in pursuing her career (ie: okay with any reasonable job). The UAE could be a place for you (the weather is hot though). You could afford a villa, vacations, good healthcare, private education for your kid, save money, and trade without consequences.
Of course the UAE could be not the place for you. But there are many other places to pick from, especially with a German passport.
Also: If you are leaving because of taxes, do not settle for any place that has a tax higher than 0%.
