To everyone saying my weekend project is going to be on the hook for millions:
The keyword here is "fahrlässig" (translates to negligent). Whoever is damaged must be able to prove that a bug caused through your program was negligent. I myself have tons of weekend project that have no stakes at all (most are libraries that are used by essentially no one and I make $0 from all of them combined) and even there I spend a little bit of time keeping dependencies up to that. With the few bug reports I get I at least look into them. It will be very hard to extort any money out of me under this law.
If you are running a startup and making money you will need to allocate resources to maintenance, stability and bug fixing.
