I think it is the same with the Darknet law, thats why I
like to discuss this with (German speaking) remops. My little
current understanding is once this law has passed that we no
longer are allowed to run .onion servers or vpns etc.

I have not seen a written form yet of this law (proposal)
and only have read some news articles in the net.

I may check also with EFF, because they cover many
international topics beside local ones. They for example
reported also about EU articles 11 and 13 and what their
outcome may be for the Internet.
