Did the Macbook Pros just get a whole lot more expensive in Europe (or specifically Germany?)? I don't remember the 15" MBP with a discrete graphics card being 2800€. Or have they adjusted their prices to the weak Euro a while back?

I would think the latter [0] if you are seeing around 20% appreciation in price.

Yeah, they adjusted for the weak Euro. The Apple developer program also went up in price last year in Europe.
The last gen MBP was also the same price in Germany a few months back, so it wasn't changed just now.
It might have occured when the Retina screen was no more optionnal.
