I find Germans (or at least Bavarians) are pretty relaxed, friendly and helpful even as they are very tied to their beloved "Ordnung". The result is that things go smoothly when you run along the rails, and even if your run off them, people cheerfully help you back on.
But on those occasions when the bureaucratic requirements get silly, people just accept it. Those requirements are the rails, and you need to run along them.
