You need a pipewrench and open the nut (dont know if it is the right term for that part) next to the thermostat slightly. The air is being released and when water comes you close it. I’m not a professional for that but that’s how they did it on my radiator. It’s not that difficult but you need the right tools.
I suggest you ask the landlord.

Just a layman’s opinion, but I think it’s just not accessible, because the niche is to small for the radiator.Â

maybe it’s connected to one in the next room ?Â
or in the wall… you gotta ask the Vermieter.

It’s not about the type of radiator.
The valve for bleeding it should be on the top right.
Unfortunately, whoever placed that rad there had not enough space, just look at how there is a cutout for the thermostat.
Is it necessary to bleed the rad?
If you live, e.g. on the third floor and there is a fourth floor above you, you might be lucky enough that air travels to your upstairs neighbor 😉
If you turn on the rad (thermostat to 5) does the side of the rad where the thermostat sits hot, but not the upper right side, opposite the thermostat?
If so, yes you will need to find a way to bleed it.
If both sides get warm, you are fine.

It doesn’t look like it has a bleed valve. You could try to loosen the union nut next to the thermostat and bleed the air that way, but that’s something you don’t want to leak, it’s not meant for frequent bleeding.
Generally, radiators don’t require individual bleeding, but bleeding air at the system’s highest point can be sufficient. Do you have nearby, connected, radiators you could bleed more easily?
If all fails, contact your landlord. They can also make sure that the pressure in the system is sufficient to minimize the need for bleeding.

The bleeding port is most likely on the right hand side near the top. You will need a tool called “flacher Heizungsschlüssel”.

This could fit between wall and radiator: https://www.amazon.de/Entl%C3%BCftungsschl%C3%BCssel-Heizungsschl%C3%BCssel-Vierkantschl%C3%BCssel-Entl%C3%BCftungsgriff-hochwertigem/dp/B0BDXLZBFC/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?sr=8-4-spons&aref=NlZDSjYfKS&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY
