I have to change them the first time in my very old and not renovated german apartment, can I put a regular E27 bulb in there or what do I need?

Looks like E27 to me.
You need to make sure the wattage of the new bulb does not exceed what the lamp allows. You will find the maximum wattage printed on the socket of the lamp.
You may want to get a replacement that also states 2700K. If that number is much higher, the light will be “colder” (more bluish, less reddish).
Does the other side have any markings? While the power consumption is listed at 9W, the wattage-to-brightness ratio isn’t exactly the same for all types/models/generations of LED lights, so look out for a number of *lumens* (abbreviated as “lm”), or an equivalent incandescent wattage (should probably be 60W or 75W for a 9W LED bulb of this type), and get a similarly rated replacement.
You can, of course, choose a colder, brighter, or dimmer replacement on purpose. But if you pick a replacement bulb at random, without considering these properties, the resulting differences might come as an unpleasant surprise.
