Im going to Marceille from Germany next week and the Prize i find online is okay but coming back to Germany 8days later would be up to 500€ for an Adult and Kid 17. thats too much.Is it cheaper to buy Tickets in france when coming back or before we Go in Germany?

NO. Most likely you hit a ´day of grand departure´ as the French say it-just before the Easter holidays. Best prices is always online-there may indeed be a small difference if you use the french=sncf or german=bahn sites.
BUT much more likely to get lower prices is to find a routing where you do NOT cross the Fr-DE border on a TGV and book separately for the sectors. This will involve more changes and slower timings. Perhaps, maybe if you can reveal what the destination is and what you can bear there may be some alternative. or simply check RYANair-will n ot be cheap either on that day.

Hi!
We would need to know exact route and travel date in order to maybe suggest alternatives.

Im going from Bremen to Marceille in 11.04 If possible.The reason Why i don’t book early is the Corona Problem.

An option would be to Split the Journey in Basel or Strasbourg, booking separate tickets for each leg.
However, tickets still will be expensive since April 18 is Easter Monday, a main travel day.
What I found:
Marseille 0810 - 1352 Basel
Basel 1506 - 0119 Bremen
Book Marseille to Basel from SNCF via https://rail.shop/omio - ticket currently 183,20
Book Basel to Bremen from DB via rail.shop/Bahn - ticket currently
115,80
You might also try to book the whole route via rail.shop/
However these tickets can't be returned or exchanged so in light of covid you might think about this.
The initial price from DB (400 something) ca be returned.
