Hi:) I want to go into microscopy. I have been looking at the "Bresser ERUDIT DLX 40-1000X". Has somebody experience with that brand\model? Is this a good entry-level microscope?

Looks expensive for a monocular, you might outgrow it soon and observing with one eye is tiring, it is ok to take a look, but not observe.
My first scope was a used Zeiss standard GFL, I bought it for less than the one you linked. It has a resale value and probably will have it in future. Looks very classy... Now I have a bigger/better one which I found at a bargain price, but the Zeiss won't go on sale, we have a bond. :D

If you're in Germany, I've seen quite a lot of stuff on ebay.de, there is a German forum too https://www.mikroskopie-forum.de, maybe someone has something for sale there. More stuff pops up often as Zeiss, Leitz (Leica) are German companies. Look up Olympus and Nikon too.

New is also cool if you like, but not monocular, especially not for that price. I think you can get a binocular from Omex, Amscope etc. for a similar amount of money...

Something like this might be ok, but at a lower price, maybe 200-250 you can try "Preisvorschlag"... ask the seller about delamination of optics. Ebay does offer protection if the item's description is not true, this seller claims item is fully functional...

This one without eyepieces or objectives, which can be found cheaply for this model, has a more advanced condenser included, which is a very important piece.
