Interesting! How/why are they so much (~8x) cheaper than e.g. DigitalOcean or Linode? Or am I missing something and they're not comparable in some way?

I manage one app on a DO droplet and one on a Strato vserver and the docker setup I use for both is almost identical. So it's definitely comparable.

A lot of things related to hosting (land, power, cooling, bandwidth) are cheaper in Germany versus where Linode and DigitalOcean are located.

Sure, but 8x cheaper? And I think most non-European hosting companies have datacentres in Europe; I assumed they'd compete on price but apparently not.
