Preferably all of it. I know, how to read a XML-file, but I cant display the data as a menu. So I don't know the connection of these things ...

Deserialize the XML document to a collection of say
Menuobjects. Then do the necessary binding to reflect what you want in the view."As beings of finite lifespan, our contributions to the sum of human knowledge is one of the greatest endeavors we can undertake and one of the defining characteristics of humanity itself"

In that case you'd be asking for a developer for hire.

Creating a menu dynamically isn't that hard in WinForms, so I would expect it not to be too hard in WPF either. You could search for an example and give it a try - if you get stuck and have a specific question we can help.

And what, exactly, do you want to happen when the user clicks on a menu item? If you want to know how to construct the menu itself, search for articles on MVVM menus with WPF.

You should start to read about XmlDataProvider and how to use bindings to XML-documents with XPath. A good starting point can be How to: Bind to XML Data Using an XMLDataProvider and XPath Queries | Microsoft Docs[^] In the example a ListBox is populated but you should be able to replace it with a Menu bound to an XmlDataProvider as ItemsSource with a customized ItemContainerStyle that sets the Header of the MenuItem to the title attribute. Good luck.
