One example is women didn't need to stay home the whole day for child care, since there was Kindergarten for everyone from age 3 to primary school and even nurseries for children between 6 months to age 3 if you wanted to. Nowadays in eastern Germany the care infrastructure is still there mostly, but not on sufficient numbers and it is not guaranteed anymore, so parents need to have enough money.

To be fair, that was not (only) out of good will, but also out of economical necessity, since the female workforce was as much needed as the male one to keep the whole thing going.

Marie Antoinette in her trials was accused of Thr German Vice (lesbianism) among her litany of debaucherous accusations (historically, she was fairly innocent and not terrible as royalty goes).

In the 19th century, the naturist / nudist movements started in Germany. In the 1920s, the German sex institute that studied and sought to normalize transgenderism (and the rest of LGBT+) was the first target of the NSDAP hate campaign.

I'm pretty sure Germany has been the bleeding edge of sexuality since the middle ages, if not before.
