AFAIK Germany (and most European countries) has civil law, so court rulings probably won't have as much of an impact as it would in countries like the US

Most of the world, actually. Pure common law systems are just in CANZUKUS (and a few dozen of other minuscule former British colonies).
Not even all of the UK. Scotland is a hybrid system.
Once it reaches the highest court, it will set precedent. So there is no real difference in the end it just takes more time because no precedent is set in a lower court.
