I knew that about Telekom and Freenet, but I find such information helpful and don't understand some of the pointless comments here

Did you know that if you mix red with green you get the color brown?

At $FNTN Freenet too. Please note, however, that the tax is then deducted when the share is sold. So the tax burden is then due once over all years of the dividend. This means that your equity increases annually by the dividend value.

Did you know it's illegal in Alaska to sleep with a bedroom overlooking the road without curtains? Apparently moose walking by could be harassed!

For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that this is **still** the case.
At Swiss Post, for example, the pot was empty in 2021.

Edit: Strictly speaking, the dividend is not tax-free either. The tax on the payout is deferred until the shares are sold.

The dividend is not really "tax-free". On the ex-date, the taxable purchase price is reduced by the distribution, so that the dividend is implicitly subject to additional tax when it is sold. Hold forever = tax-free
