Thank you, tommus, for all these links, especially the online language course with B2 level as an entry! It is for sure too early to subscribe for me, but as a native German it will not take me ages to reach the required entry level.
Like some others here, I am going to work through various textbooks for levels A and B - I prefer to use Dutch-German materials going from concise to comprehensive. After I had finished the first textbook a few weeks ago, I started doing the
Dagelijke Tests on
Beter Spellen. Just a quick and nice consolidation for grammar.

politi series on YT - there are so many available and I don't need subtitles.
For me this is an exellent way to reinforce/expand vocabulary and language use. In each episode you hear for example lots of greetings and presentations, parts of the body (twee kogels in de buik, een kogel in het hart), words you would never find in a language course (smeerlap, wraak, wetsdokter, vluchtmisdrijf …) and so on.
Then I listen extensively to two weekly Dutch podcasts (2-3 min.), but they also have perfectly matching transcripts. Nothing spectacular, just short topics spoken at "normal" speed. Later I will also do vocabulary work on them, but now it is too early because there is enough new stuff in the textbooks.

for seniors with these Dutch workout videos:

Veel succes!
