That's crazy. Notarization in Estonia can be done entirely online using a digital signature, just like everything else here is done (including voting, getting married, getting divorced, filing taxes, opening/closing a company, etc). From all I hear Germany is still stuck in the 90s for some reason.
I can also listen to a notary online in Austria. I just absolutely do not want to have the notary involved in the first place.
90s is charitable. Most important thing here is that nothing changes. Everything new is considered suspicious.
