Germany hasn't imposed any similar ban on end-to-end encryption without a law enforcement backdoor. My configured iPhone region, configured Apple ID region, and physical location are all in Germany right now, and I was able to enable Apple's Advanced Data Protection here without a problem.

Yes, German law enforcement does have a rights carveout, but not nearly as big of one as in the UK (or the US).
