Mannheim TOEFL test rules
Every TOEFL figure on the page is a Test Date Score. The page says some tests are offered as at-home testing and these are accepted. Proofs must be no older than two years (five years for the Data Science and Social Data Science programs) at the application deadline, and you may upload them or ask the test provider to send results electronically. Some programs allow later submission; for the C1 business programs the page gives 15 August. No institution code is given.
New TOEFL iBT score reports also carry a 1 to 6 score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see the new TOEFL score scale explained.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.0 for Data Science, 6.5 for Social Data Science and Comparative Business Law, and 7.0 for the C1 business programs.

If your TOEFL score is below Mannheim's level
The page lists other proofs, including a first degree taught at least partly in English (50 percent for Data Science, 40 percent for the C1 business programs) and Mannheim's own Studium Generale language certificate. For some programs the admissions committee decides on exceptions and may set individual requirements.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Mannheim programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
