I had no idea. Even though I've been travelling Germany regularly, I have never heard of or noticed anything related to this weird trend. However, multiple sources including the survey data that this article is based on confirms the rumor.

I'm still thinking "why?" ...

I've read a book on it.

It wasn't particularly good.

But I did.

Also all cultures are weird

I made my German girlfriend watch me pee while standing to show that it's a controlled stream.

Then she pulled out her funnel and made me watch her pee while standing.
