In the same sense public domain does not exist in Germany, copyright
does not exist in Germany either.

I've asked multiple times and not yet got a single argument why
"I herby place this and that in the public domain" could see any danger
to be misunderstood or invalidated by a German court.

There are many problems with "public domain", but those are unrelated
with Germany. (Like people thinking if it is public domain in the USA
because of being written by a government employee or author long enough
dead would allow people to use it outside of the USA; or people not
claiming something they got as 'freeware' was public domain.).
