Do you really, really, really, want to get up one day knowing you have to face a class of students after just 48 hours teacher training? Especially in Germany, where students take great pleasure in exposing teachers with a lower level of knowledge of how the language works than they have themselves (you may be a native speaker, but you haven't learnt the mechanics of English like these guys have). These people don't take prisoners. And do you want to be **** at what you do for a living?

A weekend course is a waste of time and (usually a fair amount of) money. You won't learn anything useful and the sort of people who'd give you a job on the strength of it wouldn't be worth working for (cf Groucho Marx and clubs).
Take a couple of months and take a part-time CELTA. Munich British Council will sort you out with a decent centre:-
