In Germany, they could have sustained a team of 100 developers for 100 years (at 50000 EUR salary).

Sure, but that’s a small salary, even for Germany.
You'd be surprised. I don't know many devs earning >60k.
And you have variance in the industries, location, travel requirements presumably, etc. Sure. But with a project of this size and scope I'd be impressed if they'd be able to find (great) devs wanting to work on it below 65-70k and not quit after a year. IMHO and so on based on way smaller projects.
I honestly thought that average was 60/80k
I've hired many devs in Germany, if you pay less than 60k you get very bad ones.
TIL I am very bad
haha you cracked me up!

// or underpaid ;)
