Apple One is a subscription bundle service from Apple that allows users to use multiple Apple services at a reduced price. The bundle contains a combination of Apple services such as Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, Apple News+ (not in Germany) and Apple Fitness +.
However, if you look at the Apple One subscription in your account in the App Store, you can see that you can choose from different price and service levels, depending on which services you want to use.
There are both the “Apple One Individual” tariff, as well as “Family” and “Premium”. I'll explain briefly where the differences lie.
Apple One is a collection of subscription services grouped under this name into a meta-subscription.
All three subscription levels include the following services in Germany:
Apple Music
Apple TV +
Apple Arcade
Now the differences begin.
iCloud storage
Individual and Family plans only have 200 GB of iCloud storage
Premium plan has 2TB of iCloud storage shared between all users.
Apple Fitness +
Apple Fitness+ is only included with the Apple One Premium plan.

Only the "Family" and "Premium" tariffs can be used by up to 5 users in a family. The Individual plan is limited to one Apple account.
It might be a bit clearer with this table:

And for those who are more comfortable with images, here's another screenshot I took in my account. You can also see which services are included in which tariff.
Here you can see the three subscription levels that you can choose from with Apple One.

There is an error in your spreadsheet. With the family tariff, there are now 200GB and no 2TB.

Hello Kraemjo! Great, watch out. I'll fix it right away!
And with individuals only 50 GB, you can also see it in your screenshot of the Apple One offers
Hello Leif! Thank you. Embarrassing, embarrassing... will be corrected soon!
Is too expensive for me: 200GB, sports, TV would be good.
But then I will book TV as needed. Sport then probably permanently.
