(location: Germany) are there ANY decent, affordable winter gloves WITHOUT leather? I can't seem to find any in the shops that I frequent. i think so far i found one pair that wasn't in the shop when i went there.

That's what I see. But winter/snow gloves are usually full textile

I believe the leather is there to provide additional grip. Unlike regular cold weather gloves, motorcycle gloves that palm grip is critical to safe operation. I remember seeing some gloves that had a rubber/silicone type palm coating, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
