What happens if you just leave with no notice? They sue you?

  The same thing that happens when you breach any other contract.

    Employment contracts are not like "any other contract". Most European countries will have specific legislation covering workers' rights, which will typically supersede contractual clauses in case of contention.

      That being said, the role is in Germany, where it is, to a limited degree, possible to sue for damages resulting from not honoring the notice period. It is also common to add an additional limited a priori damage value into the contract. Not legal advice.

    Illegal clauses in contracts are unenforceable.

      Are you implying this clause is illegal? As far as I'm aware as long as the notice period is at least as long as the statutory period it's valid
