Confusing drone laws in Germany

A while back I posted a video of Munich, and I got some feedback regarding the lawfulness of my drone shots. At the time of flight, I was pretty sure everything I did was legal, but I was later notified that flying near the castle should be avoided. The reason I thought it was legal, was...

Note, insurance required for over 500gms (all Mavic Pros)

Germany has a Drone Check app

DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH

www.dfs.de

Says German language, but found a checklist in English too . . .

DFS-DroneCheck

I went through checklist, they do have some interesting limits to main roads, hospitals, prisons, police and military, and other such, generally 100m.

I went through that using a Mavic Mini as an example weight sub 250g (well under the stated 500g stated for insurance requirements), to see if I could get through it ok, it still came up with "ATTENTION: You are obliged to take out third-party liability insurance for your unmanned aircraft system!"

Tried to find an app with a drone map like we have here, and like you have in the US, no luck there.
