If you hurt somebody or damage other people’s property, that’s illegal regardless of the legal activity you happen to do at the time. Example: It’s legal to watch tv, but if you damage the sidewalk in front of your house by doing so, you have to pay for the damage.

Hunting right is tied to the land ownership in Germany. If you own land open to the public, you have to (yes, you have to!) hunt yourself or lease this right (and obligation) to someone else.

And as simply someone who wants to enter a public building I prefer revolving doors. More user friendly.

Bertold Brecht: “What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?”

But I don’t think that’s a specific German problem.

Alpenmilch is not a protected description of origin or feeding of the cows, has no legal defintion, and can be put on any milk from anywhere. It’s just marketing.

“Bergbauernmilch” would be such a protected label.

Big companies are big, small companies often outsource their accounting. In both cases it can take quite a while for the news that you quit to reach the person responsible for the payment.
