The German law is worthless in this regard. It gets you nothing, nowhere. You need a warranty. Apple Care is properly awesome but you shouldn’t buy it in the s

The German law is worthless in this regard. It gets you nothing, nowhere. You need a warranty. Apple Care is properly awesome but you shouldn’t buy it in the store, you should buy it on ebay. (I would complain about the salesperson. They are definitely not supposed to be pushy. You encountered very abnormal behavior. I have never encountered pushy employees in the Munich Apple Store. Sure, they will ask whether you want Apple Care, but just saying no was always enough.)
