You will never get stuff like that per text, you will always get physical mail when it’s legitimate.

It’s a scam. Plain and simple. Don’t call the number provided. Do not text back. Block the number you recieved this from.
Nah, you are in germany. We are far, far removed from stuff like this being digital.
If ever there will be someone wanting to seize your property one way or another, they will have to send you notifications in paper form, usually in a fancy formal yellow envelope. So no, this is very certainly scam.
They want you to get scared, contact them, and then will talk you into making payments to stop some scammy court case that isn’t a thing.

No German authority will send you a SMS like that. Block them and delete it. Anything official will come by physical mail in this country.
