Now - I'm German too, and yes: already as a child I learned to make a little hole into the bottom of the egg (where the air bubble sits) - works well!

If you start with eggs in cold water you can do it without (and be lucky 90% of the time), but I find it hard to time them correctly (specially if not at home! Unknown stove: faster or slower heating, etc.)

Finally: when you buy one of these excellent egg boiling appliances they all come with a pin in the bottom of the measuring cup - why would they put it there if it's only good to cut your fingers on? Answer: to make a little hole into the bottom of your egg so it doesn't crack during boiling!!!

And if you don't shock boiled eggs under cold water they are a nightmare to peel - specially if you let them go cold...
