I have recently moved to a new apartment, that has this thermostat on the living room. So far, since I didn't have a bed yet, I was basically sleeping in the living room, and heating only this room.
But my bed arrived yesterday and now I can properly use the sleeping room.
What I noticed is that the heating in the sleeping room doesn't turn on even if I put it on 5, so I'm confused about how this works.
Do I have to heat the entire apartment so that the temperature is controlled by the thermostat in the living room?
Is there a way to heat only the sleeping room together with the living room (where the thermostat is) and leave the other rooms without heating?
Right now the temperatures are getting warmer, so I probably won't have to heat much longer, but by the end of the year, I'll need to know how things work, when it's time to heat again.

I don’t know myself, but can’t you contact the landlord and ask them how it works?
You basically have the thermostat in your living room. If the living room is nicely warm, and you have closed the door to your bedroom, it would not turn on the heating.
So you should leave the doors open to the rooms you want to heat/ have the same temperature as a living room.
I had that exact Junkers control in the house that I was renting before and indeed there’s the one thermostat for the entire place, so it controls everything.
I have this in my house.
Normally this controls the temperature of the water in the system. You set the temperature, turn your thermostat on the radiator to max in your living room and the rest of the radiators in the other rooms accordingly. But this is for the whole house system and it could be different for an apartment complex.
But if your radiator in the living room is warm, the others should also heat. Maybe the thermostat is broken.
If the heater in the bedroom is not heating, you may have to inform your landlord so the heater can be checked out.
I have the same kind of thermostat. Make sure your living room heater’s knob is turned to the max at all times since you control the heat in your living room with that wall thingy and your Gastherme gets informations from your living room heater. So the Gastherme will get correct information and turn itself on and off as appropriate to keep the temperature. Just in case you were not aware.
In all the other rooms you will have to turn the knobs on and off. If one heater is not warming up, you need to call the landlord. Or you could try if letting the air out works to solve the issue. “Heizung entlüften” in YouTube search should give you videos for the topic.
