Do indicidual cities or states in Germany restrict your aircraft

No chaos at all. There are "noise classes", and each aircraft has a
noise certificate which states in which class it is. When landing, you
pay a landing fee and a noise surcharge, the latter depending on the
noise class stated in that certificate. (Easier spoken, the landing fee
depends on the noise.) There are some airports which are forbidden for
the noisier planes, this is stated in the AIP.

It sounds as if the Greens really have everbody by the testicles in
Germany. In the US they are some of the most obnoxious people you can
ever meet.
