There are glass, cast iron, and ceramic teapots that come to mind, and if you aren't looking for handmade or intricate, 100€ is likely more than enough. Are you looking for gong fu style or European style?

I am a big fan of Zero Japan's teapots. Glazed ceramic, and i have put them in the dishwasher for years with no issues. I think they also go by the name Bee House. The infuser they come with is pretty good, but it turns our that the mouth is also the perfect size for a Finum medium basket strainer.
I've never been disappointed by a glass teapot with a metal infuser.
I also never use lids, so I wouldn't think there was a problem with your first teapot 😄
I bought 2 different sizes of Hario Maru teapots and highly recommend them. I also gifted these to both my mom and sister and they love theirs too. They’re around $15.
When pouring, without the lid it sometimes goes over that and makes a mess
I didnt know how to translate the word stövchen. Its a thing that you put below the teapot to keep it warm.
I think i accidently threw away the lid from that so now i cant put it ontop of it anymore ;-; Big tragedy
Are those the ones that use small tea light candles? I think they can be called tea warmers but I am sure there are other English names.
This was my first result with a Google search.
But do you recomend them?
Based on price, availability, and construction, I would recommend giving one a shot. Especially if you are asking for less than €100 and some of the pieces are in the $20 range.
If you don't get any other answers, it beats a blank.
Why? Is 100€ to little for a good teapot? O.O
I'd say it is a bit much compared to what I saw, but I will let others answer now.
