The difference to other countries is that the notary essentially can revoke their notarization of your company and thereby voiding it (which I am not aware has ever happened), if they at any point decide you lied to them.

Germany has companies going back to the 15th century so a lot of the company founding processes have been grandfathered in over hundreds of years.

I’m actually somewhat happy about the notaries because they essentially commit to keeping a copy of your contract in eternity (until they dissolve), so you can always be assured that you can get a copy of your founding contract at any time.
