How will overstaying my Finnish visa affect future travel/visas?

The word above your stamp ("ZurΓΌckgeschoben") means Removal, see Section 57 (link in English) of the "Act on the Residence, Economic Activity and Integration of Foreigners in the Federal Territory" as mentioned by user24582.

You can navigate to the other relevant sections in this document, like Section 95 (1) 2+3 (handwritten beneath your stamp) but it only gives you a feeling for what legally transpired ten years ago and no hint on what that means for your upcoming trip.


The following is merely my opinion:

I think your overstay would be taken into account by Finland and Germany in the same way, but how it would affect the outcome of your visa application is pure conjecture. If I were you and had positive travel history during these 10 years as well as a job to come back to on time, I wouldn't worry and apply for Finland.
