I just moved into a new room yesterday. It’s freshly innovated except for this window. Does that look like black mold? How should I proceed? Will I have to move out of the room so the landlord can treat this (if he decides to do so)?

It´s mold, but it´s outside. If it doesn´t pass through inside it´s fine. It´s more of an aesthetic issue for that window. Pay more attention if you have mold on walls because they conduct humidity which means it needs to be fixed. Wooden window is not so much of an issue IMHO.
Wipe it down with bleach
The picture is taken from the inside (the plastic bag is on the outside. It’s just a water bottle. I don’t have a fridge till Monday so just trying to use the winter for my own advantage a bit).
So far no sight of mold on walls or any where else. I can clean this small part on my own with bleach but should I inform the landlord?
I lüften the room at least 3 times a day but still am terrified of possible molding situation. Not only is it unhealthy, the room/apartment is freshly innovated, if I can’t contain it, I will never see my deposit again.
