I think the author focused too much on the “it’s in German” argumetn. All other problems listed with the process do not shine that much when people in comments focus on that: a foreigner should not expect a country to conduct its legal proceedings in a language different to their native.
On a different note I found the tone of the article a little appalling with author’s dismissive attitude like “What is a Notary? I’m not sure”, “ I have not checked, but I strongly doubt…”.
One does not start a company every other day so this process requires attention and not checking or not researching certain things demonstrates little patience and “I know better” attitude that is harmful down the line.
It would be interesting to see the author research why some things are the way they are, there is always a historic reason that might be valid or not in the current age, but it’s good to understand before we critique.
