As a German living in Switzerland, I was quite surprised by this when I came here. Just as an example, officially mandated paternal leave is 1 day. In Germany it is something like 6 months I think.

Uhh, no. It's 14 weeks for the mother, but, granted, a few days for the father.
Some companies may grant more, but that's voluntary.
It's literally not even a few days for the father. There is a referendum on the books to raise it to 2 weeks. Luckily my employer gives me 12 weeks but as you say, this is voluntary.
