Maybe, before you engage in thought-blocking totalitarian-authoritarian’ism, read what I have actually said.

I have a great deal of respect for German culture - this is why I live in a DACH state in the first place.

CCC is a private event and I absolutely concur that their policies are acceptable in that circumstance.

No, in fact, I am quite familiar with the law - to the extent that I am prepared to defend my position.

One thing I don’t respect, is the German proclivity to repress the public sphere. You will never beat that out of me - I have seen the positive results of public photography deliver justice in plenty of cultures where it was desperately needed.

It is perfectly fine for me to take whatever pictures I want in the public sphere - as long as I respect others’ rights and wishes to not be the subject of that photography.
