As I write my Bachelor thesis at the moment I tried to teach myself how to use Latex. But I am struggling a lot with my bibliography as I can not find a way to program it the way I want to:

Surname, N. und Surname, N. (year), Titel, .... other informarion

(The german word 'und' between the authornames is extremly important)

Sadly I could not find how to do that on the Internet or in other questions.

I recently tried alphadin and apalike. But with alphadin I get only Errors: (Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.) and with apalike, with which i can compile my document, it does not look as I want it to. Besides that I always get that and between names, which is not that practical as I write my text in german.

I put all my literature into JabRef.

my Code looks as following: 

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphicx,caption}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{ulem}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{a4}
\usepackage{acronym}
%\usepackage{epic}
\usepackage{eepic}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{eurosym}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
%\usepackage{glossaries}
\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}
%\usepackage{bibgerm}
\usepackage[flushmargin, hang]{footmisc}

\begin{document}
....
%-Literaturverzeichnis--------------------------------------------
%\nocite{*}
%die Verwendung von bibtex ist Pflicht!!!
\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Literaturverzeichnis}
\bibliography{Literatur} #so heißt mein JabRef File

\bibliographystyle{alphadin}
%\bibliographystyle{apalike}
%plainnat statt plain
%unsrtnat statt unsrt
%abbrvnat statt abbrv
%alphadidiEN statt alpha,

\newpage
\end{document}

Most of the things with the % were given in the orientation file from my university.

I hope you can help me (and sorry for the trouble with the wrong language at first :) )

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Although some of us are fluent in German (including myself), you should ask your question using the English language. This way you have access to a broader spectrum of answerers and future visitors facing the same problem as you (or a similar one) can benefit from this thread. – Skillmon Sep 15 '18 at 18:56

    Herzlich willkommen ... Bitte deine Frage auf Englisch umstellen. – Glorfindel Sep 15 '18 at 19:03
  • Thanks everyone! Didn´t knew that and changed it now! :) – Lisa Sep 15 '18 at 19:11
  • Is the only issue you have with the apalike bibliography style that is uses and instead of und as the conjunction. Please advise. And please state which document class you employ. – Mico Sep 15 '18 at 19:18
  • Yes apalike uses and instead of und and I don´t like, that it underlines the titles. My document class is \documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper,titlepage]{article} – Lisa Sep 15 '18 at 19:31
  • The underlining of the journal names does not come from the apalike bibliography style directly. Instead, it comes from the preamble instruction \usepackage{ulem}, which changes the method of emphasis from italicizing to underlining. (I suppose that "ulem" is short for "underline for emphasis"...) If you don't want this behavior, either don't load the ulem package at all or, alternatively, load it with the option normalem, i.e., write \usepackage[normalem]{ulem}. – Mico Sep 15 '18 at 19:35
  • Do take a look at the posting Change citation conjunction from “and” to “i”. That query also employs the apalike bibliography style. All you'll need to change in the instructions provided in the main part of the accepted answer is to use " and " instead of " i " as the replacement text string. Oh, and do call the modified bibliography style file something like apalike-und.bst, not apalike-catalan.bst. – Mico Sep 15 '18 at 19:38
  • Thanks. I found a file called apalike-german.tpm and renamed it into apalike-german.bst but i dont know how to open that into my document and continue with the other steps... (I can not ask this question under the recommended answer posting) – Lisa Sep 15 '18 at 20:15
  • @Lisa - I just noticed that someone has already created a file called apalike-german.bst; see https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/apalike-german. If your TeX distribution is up to date, it's probably already installed on your system. Do give \bibliographystyle{apalike-german}. a try. As always after changing the argument of \bibliographystyle, it's necessary to run LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more to fully propagate all changes. – Mico Sep 16 '18 at 07:25
  • @Lisa - I have no idea what might be in the file apalike-german.tpm. (It doesn't seem to be installed on my system.) My hunch is that files with extenion tpm are not closely associated with files with extension bst. – Mico Sep 16 '18 at 07:50
  • apalike-german.tpm is a MikTeX file that contains information about the MikTeX package apalike-german. It would surprise me greatly if you could just rename that file to .bst and could use it. Just use the MikTeX Console to install the package. – moewe Sep 16 '18 at 13:36
