This might vary from region to region. Here in Hamburg, it's normal to have a daily standup meeting in English, for example. Or to have every single meeting be in English. Berlin is similar.
Because of this, there's no point in requiring fluent German on a professional level. It just reduces options with few (if any) benefits.
Might be that a lot of companies like to use German language proficiency as a filter.

C1 German is pretty hardcore as a requirement, tbh.

Yeah, I always thought I got unlucky with the companies I applied to and ended up having to conduct the interview in german. Also it's a bit my fault, as I didn't research enough about each company. In any case, I ended up in Prague and I'm actually much happier than if I had ended up in Berlin or Hamburg (even though they also sound really cool).

In any case, it was tough to arrive here, even with a few years of experience, good CV and good education, it's not a certainty you'll find a job.

Prague is legendarily awesome, you got lucky.
