If you want to study in Germany you have to submit proof that your financial means are adequate for that purpose. One way of proving sufficient financial means is to open a blocked or limited-withdrawal account („Sperrkonto“) in Germany, in which you pre-pay a certain amount of money and from which you can only withdraw a fixed amount per month.

Providers that currently offer this service can be find here.

Iran, Sudan, North Korea and Syria

Citizens from Iran, Sudan, North Korea and Syria may also open a blocked account. However, they are required to apply for a visa first. After being granted a visa the Embassy will issue a confirmation which must be presented to the bank for opening the account.
